BY WAY OF PREFACE. 

THE volume here presented aims to narrate, in a 
clear and concise manner, the record of a splen- 
did regiment. 

The Ninth Connecticut rendered great service to the 
cause of the Union. No regiment in the Nineteenth 
Corps, or in any corps, possessed braver hearts or a 
firmer spirit of loyalty to the Republic. 

More than forty years have passed since the Ninth 
was mustered in, and the ranks of the survivors are 
growing thinner year by year. Hardly more than lOO 
officers and men of the command, out of the total enlist- 
ment, are now known to be alive. But of those who are 
still with us, the greater part are as erect in body and as 
clear in mind as they were the day they enlisted. The 
years have dealt kindly with them. 

To perpetuate a remembrance of the valiant deeds of 
these survivors of the Civil War, and their departed 
comrades of the Ninth, is the object of the present vol- 
ume. 

The author is indebted for material to many sources. 
The work has been published under the auspices of the 
Ninth Regiment Veteran Association, — survivors of the 
command — and a committee on publication has had gen- 
eral direction of the undertaking. The plan, arrange- 
ment and execution of the volume, however, were mat- 
ters left altogether to the author's taste, judgment and 
experience. 

Of the committee on publication, Richard Fitz Gibbon 
was Lieutenant-Colonel of the Ninth, and was, for a con- 
siderable period, in command of the regiment; John G. 
Healy, a captain in the regiment, became Lieutenant- 
Colonel of the Ninth Battalion, organized late in 1864, 
and composed of re-enlisted veterans ; Lawrence O'Brien, 



8 PREFACE. 

a captain in the regiment, was at one time during the 
war, provost marshal and judge of the Parish of Saint 
James, La. Michael P. Coen was a corporal in Com- 
pany F, of the regiment. His father and brother both 
lost their lives in the service. Rollin McNeil, M.D., New 
Haven, of the committee, was an assistant surgeon in 
the Regiment, and was later Surgeon of the Ninth Bat- 
talion, C. V. 

In addition to material received from the committee, 
valuable data has been furnished by Major Patrick 
Maher, a veteran of the Twenty-Fourth regiment, C. V. 
Major Maher was one of the founders, in 1849, o^ the 
Washington-Erina Guards, of New Haven, and was 
later an ofificer of the Emmet Guard of that place. As 
an authority on Irish military organizations in Connecti- 
cut he stands unexcelled. 

The author is also indebted to the Hon. John F. Hur- 
ley, recently mayor of Salem, Mass., who served in the 
Fourth Massachusetts Light Battery during the war. 
This battery was encamped at Camp Chase, Lowell, 
Mass., with the Ninth Regiment, C. V., and accompanied 
it on the Constitution to Ship Island. Mr. Hurley has 
furnished the writer a statement of many interesting 
facts, and has otherwise expressed his interest in this 
work. 

To the Hon. James P. Bree, New Haven, State Auditor 
of Connecticut, acknowledgment is likewise made for 
valuable assistance rendered, and also to Gen. Thomas 
McManus, of Hartford. This latter gentleman was a 
major in the Twenty-Fifth Regiment, C. V., during the 
Civil War, having also been adjutant of the regiment. 
From Jan., 1883, to Jan., 1885, he was Quartermaster- 
General of Connecticut, with the rank of Brigadier-Gen- 
eral. Thanks for data received are also extended Thomas 
M. Cahill, M.D., of New Haven, a son of Colonel Cahill, 
and to Dr. Patrick Cassidy, of Norwich. Dr. Cassidy was 
Surgeon-General on the staff of Governor Luzon B.

Morris of Connecticut, ranking also as Brigadier-Gen- 
eral. 

Much information has been obtained, too, from files of 
Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and other Connecticut 
journals published during the war. Official publications 
issued by the State and National governments have been 
consulted. Collections of letters written home from the 
front have been placed at the author's disposal and from 
this source, too, many interesting facts have been 
gleaned. Access has also been had to regimental and 
company papers, thus greatly facilitating the work of the 
author. 

The interest displayed by the public in the preparation 
of the present volume has been most gratifying. The 
author has received hearty co-operation on every hand. 
The kindliest sentiments have been expressed, and the 
most cordial inquiries made, from time to time, regard- 
ing the progress of the work. T. H. M.

AN INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER. 

EARLY IRISH MILITARY OFFICERS IN CONNECTICUT — 
MENTION OF CAPT. DANIEL PATRICK IN 1637 — 
IRISH NAMES IN I729, I756, 1767 AND AT OTHER 
PERIODS — MANY CONNECTICUT IRISH SERVE IN THE 
WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE, IN THE WAR OF l8l2 AND 
IN THE CONFLICT WITH MEXICO — IRISH COMPANIES 
DISBANDED BY THE KNOW NOTHING ADMINISTRA- 
TION, 1855. 

IRISH settlers are found in Connecticut at a very early 
period. Some of them participated in campaigns 
against the Indians. Captain Daniel Patrick, who had 
served in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, came here dur- 
ing the Pequod war, 1637, and rendered effective ser\ace. 

He is believed to have been an Irishman. One writer 
inclines to the opinion that his name was originally Gill- 
patrick or Fitzpatrick, and that he probably went from 
Ireland to the Low Countries and rendered military ser- 
vice there before coming to America. 

Capt. Patrick became one of the founders of what is 
now the town of Greenwich, Ct. He eventually swore 
allegiance to the Dutch government and was granted the 
rights of a "patroon" in Greenwich and vicinity. His 
wife was a woman of Dutch blood. 

A number of Irish soldiers from Connecticut partici- 
pated in "The Great Swamp Fight," in 1675, during 
King Philip's war. This fight took place in southern 
Rhode Island and resulted in a severe defeat for the 
Indians. Among the Connecticut soldiers mentioned as 
taking part in the battle were : James Murphy, Daniel 
Tracy, Edward Larkin, James Welch and John Roach. 
The latter is referred to in the Norwalk records as "a. 
soldier in the late Indian war," and was granted a tract 
of land as a gratuity. 



IV A J? OF THE REBELLION, i86i-j86s. h 

Quite a number of military officers bearing Irish names 
are identified with the colonial history of Connecticut. 
Thus, we find: Capt. John Lyon, (Greenwich), 1728; 
Capt. Joseph Keeny, (Preston), 1729; Ensign John 
Keeny, (New London), 1730; Ensign Richard Keeny, 
(Glastonbury), 1731 ; Lieut. James Tracy, 1756; Lieut. 
Daniel Lyon, 1756; Lieut. David Lacey, 1756; Capt. 
Timothy Hierlehy, 1758; Lieut. James McGunnigall, Jr., 
1759; Lieut. Cornelius Higgins, (Haddam), 1759; Capt. 
Daniel Tracy, (Norwich), 1759; Lieut. Joseph Tracy, 
(Norwich), 1759; Lieut. Patrick Walsh, 1759; Lieut. 
Roger Riley, 1767; Capt. Thaddeus Lacy, (Woodbury), 
1769, and a number of others. 

The Rev. James H. O'Donnell, now of Norwalk, Ct., 
in his History of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of 
Hartford, goes extensively into this subject of early Irish 
people in Connecticut, and to his work we are indebted 
for a number of facts set forth in this chapter. As the 
volume on which we are here engaged is a military one, 
however, we are confining our labors almost entirely to 
that line of narrative. There is a mass of material at 
hand concerning pioneers and Irish settlers, generally, in 
Connecticut, from 1640 down, but such does not come 
within the scope of the present work. 

At the outbreak of the Revolution, the Irish and their 
descendants were very numerous in Connecticut, and it 
has been estimated that fully one thousand of them en- 
listed in the patriot ranks. The Revolutionary rolls of 
the State are replete with Irish names. In the "Lexing- 
ton Alarm List," 1775, of Connecticut men, are found 
such names as : Fitzgerald, Gleason, Griffin, Kennedy, 
Manning, Martin, Murphy, McCartee, McMullen, Riley 
and the like. In every Connecticut regiment, during the 
Revolution, Irish names abound. And this applies not 
only to the regiments serving more especially within the 
State, but also to the Connecticut regiments of the Con- 
tinental Line. 



12 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

The Connecticut rolls relating to the War of 1812 also 
contain many Irish names, the bearers being from New 
Haven, Hartford, New London, Norwich, Groton, Strat- 
ford, Litchfield, Bridgeport, Middletown, Danbury and 
other parts of the State. Many of these served in the 
Regular Army, especially in the Twenty-Fifth Infantry 
and in the Thirty-Seventh Infantry. 

In the war with Mexico, Connecticut men of Irish 
blood were likewise represented in the Regular Army. 
They were found in the First and Second artillery regi- 
ments ; and in the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, 
Ninth and Tenth regiments of infantry ; also in other 
organizations. 

THE WASHINGTON-ERINA GUARDS OF NEW HAVEN. 

On July 31, 1849, a meeting of those interested in a 
projected Irish company was held in the Glebe building, 
corner of Church and Chapel streets, New Haven. Capt. 
James Quinn was chairman of the meeting, and John 
Dufify, secretary. 

The organization was named the Washington-Erina 
Guards. Provision was made for drilling the men and 
the company made good progress. After drills had been 
in progress some time, Col. John Arnold, of the Second 
Regiment, requested the members of the company to pe- 
tition Governor Trumbull for a charter and to have the 
organization taken into the service of the State as part of 
Col. Arnold's regiment, as there was a vacancy for a 
company in the latter. 

In accordance with Col. Arnold's request, a petition to 
Governor Trumbull was drafted Feb. 8, 1850, and was 
signed by John Duffy, Thomas Newman, James Gal- 
lagher, William Geary, Francis McBryan, John Maher, 
Barney Galligan, Patrick Maher, James Brady, Patrick 
W. Kennefick, Daniel Crowley,- James Banning, Michael 
Shields, Stephen Flynn, Geoffrey Ahearn, Rendles 
Sheilds,^ Edward Hamel, Thomas W. Cahill, Thomas 

' Spelled elsewhere as Randal and Randall Shields.

Preston and John L. Duffy. This petition, however, was 
never forwarded to Governor Trumbull, as it was thought 
the incoming governor (Seymour) would be more likely 
to grant the desired recognition. Governor Seymour did 
so in March, 1852, the organization becoming officially 
known as Company E, of the Second Regiment. The 
officers commissioned were to take rank from March 17, 
that year, and comprised : Captain, John Duffy ; First 
Lieutenant, Thomas W. Cahill ; Second Lieutenant, 
Randal Shields ; Third Lieutenant, Peter Hanley. The 
company established an armory at the corner of Water 
and Fleet streets. New Haven, purchased its own uni- 
forms, and received flint-lock muskets from the State. 
These nmskets it continued to use until an order came 
in August, 1854, from John C. Hollister, then Adjutant- 
General of the State, requesting the company to return 
the muskets to the arsenal, in Hartford, and stating that 
the command would be supplied with percussion-lock 
muskets instead. The old muskets were thereupon re- 
turned and the new ones received. 

A strict rule for admission to the company was that 
the applicant must be a native, or a naturalized citizen, of 
the United States. The company paraded with the regi- 
ment, attended the regimental encampments, went to 
Hartford to attend Governor Seymour's inauguration, 
one year, and was hospitably entertained by the people of 
that city. The company became very popular through- 
out the State, and received many compliments on its drill 
and general soldierly bearing. 

The organization of the Washington-Erina Guards 
took place, as has been stated, on July 31, 1849. Of 
the original members, the following were still living, 
Aug. 8, 1899, fifty years after: William Geary, Peter 
Sheridan, Thomas Preston, Michael McCarten, James 
Daly, Patrick Maher, John Cummisky, Thomas Layden, 
Michael Hughson, John Conlin, Jeremiah Donovan, 
James Wrinn, Daniel Carroll, Michael Gilhuly, Timothy

Fogarty, Patrick Garvey, and Daniel J. Crowley, — seven- 
teen in all. John Cummisky, one of these survivors, died 
in Chicago, 111., Jan. 8, 1900. 

MENTION OF OTHER IRISH COMPANIES. 

In the meantime, another military organization was 
formed, in New Haven, known as the Jackson Guards, 
composed, like the Washington-Erina Guards, of men of 
Irish birth or descent, 'flie new organization was an off- 
shoot of the Washington-Erina Guards, the requirements 
for admission being practically the same. The first cap- 
tain of the Jacksons was Patrick Garvey. The Jacksons 
were attached to the Second Regiment as Company D. 

There was also an Irish company, attached to the 
militia, at this time, in Hartford ; one in Bridgeport ; one 
in Derby (Birmingham), and one in Norwich. These 
companies were composed of an excellent class of citi- 
zens, and in drill, discipline, and every other respect, were 
a credit to the State. According to an official roster of the 
State militia, the officers of these six Irish companies 
were, in December, 1854, as follows: 

Infantry Company F, First Regiment, Hartford, 
(Emmet Guards), Captain, Edward McManus ; First 
Lieutenant, James McHugh ; Second Lieutenant, Michael 
Collins ; Third Lieutenant, Cornelius Ryan. 

Infantry Company E, Second Regiment, New Haven, 
(Washington-Erina Guards), Captain, Thomas W. Cahill ; 
First Lieutenant, Patrick Maher; Second Lieutenant, 
Randall Shields ; Third Lieutenant, Michael McCarten. 

Infantry Company D, Second Regiment, New Haven, 
(Jackson Guards), Captain, (vacancy) ; First Lieutenant, 
Peter Sheridan ; Second Lieutenant, John Scanlan ; Third 
Lieutenant, Michael Hughson. 

Infantr}' Company C, Third Regiment, Norwich, 
(Jackson Guards), Captain, Patrick McKiernan ; First 
Lieutenant, James Williams ; Second Lieutenant, Thomas 
O'Rourke ; Third Lieutenant, John Gaflfney. 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 15 

Rifle Company B, Second Regiment, Derby, (Bir- 
mingham), (Derby Rifles), Captain Patrick McMahon ; 
First Lieutenant, Hugh McGowen ; Second Lieutenant, 
Michael Stevens ; Third Lieutenant, Patrick Moneghan. 

Infantry Company B, Eighth Regiment, Bridgeport, 
(Montgomery Guards), Captain, M. O'Connell; First 
Lieutenant, John Fox; Second Lieutenant, Edward N. 
Goodwin ; Third Lieutenant, Richard Sewell. 

At the time the foregoing companies were disbanded, 
in 1855, Infantry Company D, Second Regiment, New 
Haven, was commanded by Lieut. John Maher, Jr., the 
captaincy being vacant. With this, and possibly one or 
two other exceptions, the companies had, doubtless, the 
same officers as in December, 1854. 

THE DISBANDMENT OF THE COMPANIES. 

William T. Minor, of Stamford, was elected Governor 
of Connecticut by the Know Nothings and held the office 
for two years, — 1855-57. During his administration steps 
were taken to disband the six Irish companies in the 
militia and these steps were carried into effect. 

Henry J. Gardner, the Know Nothing Governor of 
Massachusetts, also issued an order disbanding the Irish 
companies of the militia in the Bay State. Benjamin F. 
Butler was at that time colonel of a Massachusetts regi- 
ment. In this regiment was an Irish company — the 
Jackson Musketeers, of Lowell. Butler refused to pro- 
mulgate the disbanding order to his regiment, quoted the 
military law of the State, and challenged the Governor 
to bring him before a court-martial. Governor Gardner 
did not dare accept the challenge. He did, however, 
issue an order dismissing Butler from command of the 
regiment, but Butler refused to be dismissed and again 
appealed to the law. Again the Know Nothing admin- 
istration halted, nonplussed by Butler's masterly knowl- 
edge of the law relating to the case. 

Finally, Governor Gardner and his accessories found 



1 6 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

a way out of their dilemma. The regiments constituting 
the miHtia were reorganized, renumbered and relocated. 

Butler was thus frozen out, and the Irish companies 
throughout the State had to suffer, Butler, however, 
soon achieved a great triumph over the Know Nothing 
governor. In a short time after the reorganization of a 
brigade, the field officers got together to elect a brigadier 
general as they were by law authorized to do. They 
elected Butler to the position, much to the chagrin of the 
Governor and his supporters. Governor Gardner was 
obliged to sign Butler's commission as brigadier-general, 
and had he hesitated or refused to do so, the General 
would have promptly got after him with a mandamus or 
taken some other equally prompt step. 

On August I, 1855, Capt. Ruckoldt of the New Haven 
City Guards, (a German company), stood on the comer 
of Chapel and Orange streets. New Haven. As Capt. 
Thomas W. Cahill and Lieut. Patrick Maher of the 
Washington-Erina Guards approached, Capt. Ruckoldt 
said, in substance, to Capt. Cahill that he (Ruckoldt) 
had met Governor Minor in the lodge, the previous 
night, and had learned that the Governor was going to 
disband all the Irish companies — giving no reasons — but 
that he was going to retain the German company. 

This information greatly interested his two hearers. 
The fact that the Irish companies, composed of American 
citizens, were to be disbanded, and that the German com- 
pany, among whose members there were not over ten 
citizens — the rest being aliens — was to be retained, was 
especially significant. Capt. Ruckoldt's statement 
proved quite accurate. 

Gov. Minor, however, experienced some difficulty in 
having his disbanding order promulgated. The Irish 
companies had many friends in the State, even among 
the old-line stock. The Governor discussed his scheme 
with John C. Hollister, Adjutant-General of the State, 
with the result that Hollister got out of office. But 



PVAJ? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1865. 17 

Minor was determined to go ahead. So, Justin Hodge 
of Barkhamsted, a veteran of the Mexican war, was made 
adjutant-general to succeed HolHster. Without loss of 
time, the Governor issued the following: 

Office of the Commander-in-Chief, 

Stamford, August 24, 1855. 
Justin Hodge, Esq., 

A djutant-General. 
Dear Sir: — Military Companies organized as foreign 
Companies, and composed entirely of the foreign born, 
are believed to be detrimental to the military interests of 
our State, and their continuance inconsistent with the 
spirit of our Institutions, therefore, in pursuance with 
the authority vested in the Commander-in-Chief by Sec- 
tion 26 of the statute law^ of this State, passed May ses- 
sion, 1854, entitled, an Act for Forming and Conducting 
the Military Force, the following Companies being com- 
posed of the foreign born, viz : 

Infantrv Company F, Hartford, First Regiment. 
'' ' " C, Norwich, Third 

" " D, New Haven, Second 

" " E, New Haven, Second 

Rifle " B, Birmingham, " 

Infantry " B, Bridgeport, Eighth 

are hereby disbanded. 

You will issue the necessary orders for the purpose of 
disbanding each of the foregoing Companies, and notify 
the Quartermaster-General of the same, that the arms 
and equipments of each of said Companies belonging to 
the State may be returned to the Arsenal. 
Respectfully yours, 
(Signed) William T. Minor, 

Commander-in-Chief 

of the Connecticut Militia. 

1 The following is a copy of the law referred to : 

An Act for Forming and Conducting the Military Force, May Session, 
1854.— Section 26. The commander-in-chief is hereby fully authorized and empow- 
ered to disband any military company or band, as the interest of the militia in his 
opinion may require; to discharge commissioned and non-comissioned officers, and all 
other persons who have performed the duty required by this act, or who, from incom- 
petence or other cause, have failed to perform their duty; to delegate to the major- 
general and brigadier-generals the power to discharge officers and other persons, and 
generally to exercise all the powers necessary to carry into full effect the provision of 
this act.

Adjutant-General Hodge refused to promulgate the 
foregoing, and resigned. The .Governor was then 
obliged to get another adjutant-general to do his bid- 
ding. He selected Joseph D. Williams for the position, 
and this gentleman did the work required, as the follow- 
ing order shows : 

Adjutant-General's Office, 

Hartford, Sept. 25, 1855. 

In pursuance of the foregoing order directed to Gen- 
eral Justin Hodge, dated Aug. 24, 1855, the following 
Companies have been disbanded, viz : 

Infantry Company F, Hartford, ist Regiment. 

C, Norwich, 3rd " 

D, New Haven, 2d " 

E, New Haven, 2d 
Rifle " B, Birmingham, 2d 
Infantry " B, Bridgeport, 8th 

and orders have been issued and directed to the com- 
manders of the Companies with the Colonels of their 
respective Regiments. 

(Signed) J. D. Williams, 

Adjutant-General. 

The same day, Sept. 25, Williams issued an order to 
each commander of the six companies, notifying him that 
his company was "this day disbanded," and directing him 
to return State property to the Arsenal at Hartford. The 
following is a copy of the order issued at this time to 
Capt. McKiernan, of Norwich : 

Adjutant-General's Office, 

Hartford, Sept. 25, 1855. 
Patrick McKiernan, Esq., 

Capt. Ccnn'd'g Company C, ^rd Regt., Connecticut

State in your possession to the Quartermaster-General 
at the State Arsenal at Hartford. 

Yours, &c., 
(Signed) J. D. Williams, 

Adjiitant-Gcncral. 

The orders to the commanders of the five other com- 
panies were similar in phraseology, and were addressed, 
respectively, to Capt. Thomas W. Cahill, Capt. Edward 
McManus, Capt. j\I. O'Connell, Capt. Patrick IMcMahon, 
and Lieut. John Maher, Jr. Adjutant-General Williams 
also issued the following:

Levi Woodhouse, Esq., 

Qnartciinasicr-Gcncral. 
Sir: — 

By order of the Commander-in-Chief, the following 
named companies have been this day disbanded, viz : 
Infantry Company F, Hartford,

Rifie " B, Birmingham, 
Infantry " B, Bridgeport, 

and the arms and equipments of said companies belong- 
ing to the State have been ordered into your Office. If 
they should not be forthcoming you will take early meas- 
ures to enquire into the cause. 

Yours, &c., 
(Signed) J. D. Williams, 

Adjutant-General. 

The disbandment of the Irish companies occasioned 
great dissatisfaction throughout the State. The New 
Haven Register, speaking of Capt. Cahill and his com- 
pany (the Washington-Erina Guards, Co. E, Second 
Regiment), said :

'"Capt. C. is himself a native of New England — was 
born within a stone's throw of Bunker Hill, and came 
with his parents to this city, before he was a year old — 
and has steadily resided here since. He is as intelligent 
and patriotic as Gov. Alinor, and in every sense as good 
a citizen. He is one of the best officers in the State, and 
every member of his company is a naturalized citizen. 
No breach of duty is charged upon them ; no unsoldierly 
act is alleged ; no disrespect of superior officers ; 
no contempt of orders ; no evidence of want of at- 
tachment to the country ; but a full compliance by them 
with all the militia laws is conceded. We hardly know 
which is the most despicable — the injustice of the act, or 
the hypocrisy which attempts to excuse it. 

"The injustice of such a step is the more apparent when 
it is remembered that by the law under which this com- 
pany was mustered and enrolled, it is provided that any 
person who shall serve seven years in any company, 
shall be exempt from the poll tax, and at the expiration 
of that term, from military duty. Here are men, then, 
who served with fidelity nearly four years, been at great 
expense for dress and equipments, devoting their time 
and money to the service of this State, turned off without 
a decent apology for the act, and the contract meanly 
abrogated ! We have no patience with such demagog- 
ism. The young men thus attempted to be disgraced, 
are among the most industrious of our mechanics — most 
of whom either came here in infancy, or were born upon 
the soil — and are 'American citizens,' as much as Gov. 
Minor or his supple Adjutant, and as worthy of confi- 
dence. The indignation felt by all classes of our citizens, 
(outside of the 'midnight conclave' where the order 
originated), is intense ; and the authors of it have only 
added another mill-stone to the weight which is rapidly 
sinking them to an infamy as merited as it is fathomless." 

The Bridgeport Farmer, Oct. 2, 1855, referring to the 
Montgomery Guards of that city, another of the dis- 



JVAH OF THE REBELLION, iSdi-iSdj. 21 

banded companies, said : "This Company B, as it is here 
called, known in this city by the name of Montgomery 
' Guards, was formed in 1852, by Captain Coates, a nat- 
uralized Irishman, who had been an officer of some grade, 
or a drill master, in the United States Army. Mr. Coates 
was a very zealous whig, and in all party matters, was 
particularly intimate v/ith Mr. John M. Wilson, now one 
of the principal managers of the Know Nothing Inquisi- 
tion in this city. All the members of the company are 
of Irish parentage, we believe, though some of them are 
natives of this country. Those of them who were not 
born here, have, we are told, been duly naturalized, and 
of course, are entitled to all the rights and privileges, as 
v/ell as to all the name of American citizens. They are 
all, we understand, industrious and skillful mechanics, 
* * * * They have expended a considerable 
amount of money to equip themselves with uniforms, etc., 
and devoted much time to the study and practice of infan- 
try tactics. As a company, and as individuals, they have 
discharged, promptly and faithfully, all the duties that 
are required by law, and at the regimental muster, 
made as fine an appearance, we are informed, as 
any company on the field. In actual service, we have no 
doubt, they would shed their blood and sacrifice their 
lives as heroically, in defence of American liberty, as any 
other company in this State, not excepting even Captain 
Minor's favorite company, the Stamford Guards. * * 
"The ground on which this disbandment was first at- 
tempted to be justified, was, that these companies were 
composed chiefly of persons not naturalized. But it 
does not appear, from all we can learn, that this is true 
in relation to any considerable number. Indeed, nearly 
all who were born abroad, have been duly naturalized, 
and taken the Elector's oath, to support the Constitution 
of this State, and of the United States — while a consid- 
erable portion of them are natives of this or some of the 
neighboring States — and all devotedly attached to our 



2 2 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

country and her free institutions. It cannot, therefore, 
with any show of truth, be said that there is the least 
ground for apprehension on account of any allegiance 
they may owe or be supposed to owe to any foreign 
power. Nor does it appear that they have been disobe- 
dient soldiers or refractory citizens. * * * This 
disbandment was so entirely uncalled for and un- 
justifiable, that two Adjutant-Generals refused to obey 
the order of the Governor for that purpose, which 
was issued contrary to the advice and remonstrances of 
some of the best military men in the State. The decree 
had been uttered, however, by the Know Nothing Inqui- 
sition, and Governor Minor was required to see it en- 
forced." 

The animus of the Know Nothings against the Irish 
companies had a racial and religious basis. These com- 
panies were Irish and Catholic. The "foreign" company 
retained was German and Protestant. The fact that the 
Irish companies were composed of American citizens, 
and the German company mainly of aliens, counted for 
nothing with the dark-lantern plotters. The tactics of 
the latter, however, were short-lived. The Know Noth- 
ing party was soon tumbled from power. 

The Washington-Erina Guards, after their disband- 
ment in 1855, as a military company, continued to meet 
as a social organization, until May 18, 1857, when a new 
organization was formed in New Haven. This was the 
famous Emmet Guard of that place. Present at the 
meeting for organization were representatives of the 
Washington-Erina and Jackson Guards, the latter of 
which had also been disbanded in 1855, and several prom- 
inent adopted citizens. Capt. Patrick Maher was chair- 
man of the meeting, and Michael McCarten was secre- 
tary. A committee was appointed tO' solicit funds, it was 
decided to name the new organization the Emmet Guard, 
and John Bell was engaged to make the uniforms. Capt, 
Maher, as a committee to purchase muskets, subsequently 



IV A J? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 23 

waited upon Eli Whitney and bought the required num- 
ber of guns at $3 each. They were of an old pattern, but 
answered the purpose very well. The Emmets became a 
very successful organization, acquired great proficiency 
in drill and was one of the best known military com- 
panies in the State. 

On July 30, 1859, the Emmet Guard received in New 
Haven, as guests, the Irish Fusiliers, (Co. A, 69th Reg't, 
New York), at that time commanded by Capt. Michael 
Corcoran, who afterwards became a General and was in 
command of Corcoran's Irish Legion. The Emmets 
entertained the Fusiliers in New Haven over July 31 and 
Aug. I, and displayed true Irish hospitality. The company 
orders issued to the Emmets, for this occasion, were 
signed by "Thomas W. Cahill, Commandant," and "P. 
McLaughlin, Orderly Sergeant." These orders stated 
that the Hibernian, Montgomery, and Carmen societies 
of New Haven would also participate, on the evening of 
July 30, in the reception to the visiting organization. In 
i860, the Emmets made a return visit to New York as 
the guests of the Fusiliers and were handsomely treated. 

The Emmets continued drilling and perfecting them- 
selves in general military knowledge. They had a full 
set of regimental ofifiicers, so that when the War of the 
Rebellion broke out there was material and ability 
enough in the organization to officer a regiment or a 
brigade. The Emmet Guard, of New Haven, was a 
nucleus in the formation of the Ninth Regiment, C. V., 
in the Civil War, and furnished two or three companies 
and sixteen commissioned officers to the cause of the 
Union. These officers were as follows.

ORGANIZATION OF THE NINTH SOME PRELIMINARY 

EVENTS LEADING THERETO — ACTIVITY OF IRISH- 
AMERICANS IN THE CAUSE OF THE UNION — THE FLAG 
DISPLAYED ON CATHOLIC CHLTRCH EDIFICES — PATRI- 
OTIC ACTION BY THE REV. THOMAS F. HENDRICKEN 
AND OTHER PRIESTS — GOVERNOR BUCKINGHAM 
FAVORS THE RAISING OF AN IRISH REGIMENT — 
THOMAS W. CAHILL IS MADE COLONEL. 

THE War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865, was one of the 
greatest conflicts in all history. Huge armies were 
engaged, and the naval operations were also conducted 
on a vast scale. Connecticut was one of the most loyal of 
states. She responded promptly to the calls of President 
Lincoln for defenders of the Union, and is credited with 
over 54,000 enlistments. As the poet John Boyle 
O'Reilly sings : 

" Thrice blest the nation that has every son 
A soldier, ready for the warning sound ; 
Who^ marches homeward when the fight is done, 
To swing the hammer and to till the ground. 

"Call back that morning, with its lurid light, 

When through our land the awful war bell tolled ; 
When lips were mute, and women's faces white 
As the pale cloud that out from Sumter rolled. 

" Call back that morn : an instant all were dumb, 
As if the shot had struck the Nation's life ; 
Then cleared the smoke, and rolled the calling drum. 
And men streamed in to meet the coming strife." 

No class of Connecticut men volunteered with greater 
alacrity than those of Irish birth or descent. It has 
been estimated that between 7,000 and 8,000 of this ele- 



26 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

ment alone, enlisted into the various regiments that went 
to the front from the State. They were represented in 
the infantry, cavalry, and artillery. Many Connecticut 
men of Irish lineage also enlisted into organizations 
credited to other states and many more rendered valiant 
service in the navy. 

Many were killed in battle and thus cemented their 
devotion to the Republic with their blood. Others, per- 
ished of wounds or disease, while still others returned 
home crippled for life. But the Nation was preserved 
and so their sacrifices were not in vain. A grateful people 
will long remember its Irish heroes who wore the blue. 

Soon after the outbreak of the war, Connecticut began 
organizing regiments and sending them forward to sup- 
port the Flag. Young men of Irish birth or extraction 
enlisted in these early regiments by the hundred, and 
were as zealous as any descendant of the Pilgrim or the 
Puritan to fight for the maintenance of the Union. At 
frequent intervals, notices were published in the daily 
papers, throughout the State, requesting patriotic young 
Irishmen to attend meetings, here and there, for the pur- 
pose of organizing military companies. Prominent men 
of Irish extraction participated in great "war meetings," 
the Stars and Stripes were displayed on Catholic church 
edifices, priests addressed their flocks on the great issues 
of the hour, and everywhere a spirit of earnest patriotism 
was manifested. The insult offered the Irish element by 
the Know Nothing administration, in 1855, when the six 
companies were disbanded, was forgiven, if not for- 
gotten, now that the life of the Nation was at stake. In 
the New Haven Palladium, April 20, 1861, appeared the 
following : 

"Our Irish fellow-citizens are strong in their patriotic 
devotion to the country of their adoption. At a very en- 
thusiastic meeting of the Emmet Guard last evening [in 
New Haven] it was determined to offer their services to 
the Government as soon as they shall have been recog- 
nized as citizens and soldiers bv the Governor. 



IVAJi OF THE REBELLIOX, 1 86 1-1863. 27 

"The McGowan Guards, too, a target company, 
formed some two years ago, will tender their services as 
soon as the Emmets shall have done so, and the two 
companies will prove themselves among the best of the 
soldiers who are to fight for the flag." 

In its issue of April 22, 1861, the Palladiinn said: 
"We are glad to hear that Governor Buckingham, 
in a letter to Captain Cahill, of the Emmet Guard, has 
informed him that the officers chosen by that company 
shall be fully commissioned immediately upon being 
reported by the Adjutant-General, without the usual 
formalities attending the organization of military com- 
panies." 

In the PaUadiiiiii for May 15, 1861, appeared the fol- 
lowing notice : "All patriotic young Irishmen who 
desire to defend the flag of their adopted country, and to 
serve for three years, or during the war, are requested to 
meet at Hibernian Hall, [New Haven], this evening, at 
7| o'clock. Particulars given by M. A. Williams, as per 
instructions. It is intended to attach this company to 
Colt's Regiment, to be armed with Colt's Rifles. We 
understand that this regiment will be commanded by 
United States ofificers." 

In its issue the next day, May 16, 1861, the Palladium, 
referring to this meeting, said : "The military meeting 
at Hibernian Hall last evening was large and enthusi- 
astic. Mr. Michael A. Williams was elected Chairman, 
and John Brown, secretary. This meeting was held for 
the purpose of organizing a military company for three 
years' service. The meeting adjourned to meet this 
evening at Healy's Hotel, in Broad street, where those 
who wish to enlist can have the opportunity." 

On April 25, 1861, the Palladium notes that "A mag- 
nificent American flag was last night hoisted on the spire 
of St. Patrick's church on Grand street [New Haven]. 
It shows — as have many similar demonstrations — that 
our adopted citizens are with us in the support of the 
Government." 



28 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Early in the war, the Rev. Thomas F. Hendricken, of 
Waterbur}'-, Ct., (afterwards bishop of the diocese of 
Providence, R. I.), called a meeting of the young- men of 
his parish. The meeting was held in the basement of the 
church and a military company was organized and its 
services offered to Governor Buckingham. It was in- 
tended to serve for three months. As the short-time 
regiments were then full, the company waited and was 
finally mustered into the Ninth. The Croffut-Morris 
history of Connecticut in the Rebellion, speaking of 
Waterbury's part in helping the cause of the Union, 
states that a company, the City Guard, of that place, was 
promptly recruited to the maximum and its services 
offered to the Governor. On April 20, 1861, "it left for 
New Haven, being escorted to the depot by an immense 
crowd of citizens and civil societies, and a speech of fare- 
well being made by Rev. Mr. Hendricken of the Catholic 
church." The same work also states that about the same 
time, "A beautiful American flag was raised over the old 
Catholic church, [in Waterbury] ; the three hundred 
Catholic pupils, under the direction of the Misses Slater, 
participating in the patriotic ceremonies. The Irish 
Catholics assembled, and fifty voted to volunteer." 

One of the leading spirits at a great war meeting in 
Middletown, Ct., at this time, was M. H. GrifBn, a promi- 
nent Democrat. He "was a loyal Irish-American of 
wealth and influence in Middletown, and he gave all his 
efforts to the work of prosecuting the war. He incited 
a spirit of patriotism by personal appeals in the street 
and in the workshop, gave freely of his money and his 
time, and zealously promoted the work of organization 
and equipment for the front." 

In the Croffut-Morris history, already quoted, it is 
stated that "A fine company of Irishmen from Norwich 
was raised for the Fifth Regiment ; but it finally joined 
the First New York Artillery. Capt. Thomas Maguire 
became major of the regiment, and was succeeded by 



IV A I? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1865. 29 

Capt. William A. Berry, killed in front of Petersburg. 
He in turn was succeeded by Capt. Thomas Scott of Nor- 
wich." 

Early in the war, the project of forming a distinctively 
Irish regiment,^ in Connecticut, was suggested, and re- 
ceived the favorable consideration of Governor Bucking- 
ham. He thoroughly disapproved of the Know Nothing 
tactics, of 1855. His activity in securing justice for the 
companies that had been arbitrarily disbanded by Gov- 
ernor Minor also did credit to his head and heart. 

At the May session of the General Assembly, 1861, 
Mr. Gallagher of New Haven introduced in the House 
of Representatives, May 3, a joint resolution reinstating 
as a part of the military force of the State all regularly 
organized military companies, composed of foreign born 
citizens that w^ere disbanded in 1855, and also reinstating 
their respective ofificers to take rank from the date of 
their several commissions ; also providing for paying said 
companies for armory rent, and the performance of mili- 
tary duty as if said companies had not been disbanded. 

"The resolution was read the first time, and by order 
of the House (the rule being dispensed with), the second 
time, and, on motion, was referred to the Joint Standing 
Committee on Military Affairs.'' 

Another extract from the Journal of the House, at this 
time, reads : "Tuesday Morning, May 28. The report 
of the Joint Standing Committee on Military Afifairs, to 
whom was referred the joint resolution reinstating as a 
part of the military force of this State all regularly organ- 
ized military companies, composed of foreign born citi- 

1 There were many Irish regiments in the Union army during the war. Among 
them were the Tenth New Hampshire, Ninth Massachusetts, Twenty-eighth Massa- 
chusetts, Thirty-seventh New York, Sixty-third New York, Sixty-ninth New York, 
Eighty-eighth New York, One Hundred and Fifty-fifth New York, One Hundred and 
Sixty-fourth New York, One Hundred and Seventieth New York, Seventeenth Wis- 
consin, Twenty-third Illinois, Nintieth Illinois, Seventh Missouri, Fifteenth Michi- 
gan, etc. There were many other regiments in the service which, while not known 
as Irish regiments, were largely composed of men of Irish birth or parentage. The 
Third Rhode Island Heavy Artillery was one of these. Corcoran's Irish Legion and 
Meagher's Irish Brigade covered themselves with glory during the struggle. 



30 



NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 



zens, that were disbanded in 1855, and also reinstating 
their respective officers to take rank from the date of their 
several commissions ; also providing for paying said 
companies for armory rent, and the performance of mili- 
tary duty as if said companies had not been disbanded, 
by authorizing the Comptroller to draw an order on the 
Treasurer, in favor of the captain or senior lieutenant of 
such companies, for the use and benefit of each of said 
companies, on receipt of satisfactory evidence of their 
having performed military duty and paid armory rent," 
was received from the Senate. It was adverse to the 
passage of the resolution, but recommended "the passage 
of a substitute resolution therefor, submitted by the Com- 
mittee, providing for the legal and honorable discharge 
of the military companies of adopted citizens disbanded 
in the year 1855, from the performance of further active 
military duty in the same manner that they would have 
been discharged if they had served for the full term of 
five and seven years under the laws of this State." The 
report of the Committee was accepted, the resolution 
originally referred to the Committee was rejected, and 
the substitute recommended by the Committee was 
passed. 

The substitute resolution here mentioned was finally 
adopted, by both House and Senate, and thus the Know 
Nothing stain was removed from the fair escutcheon of 
Connecticut, so far as that stain had afifected the reputa- 
tion of the Irish companies. 

The difference between the original resolution, which 
was rejected, and the substitute which was passed, con- 
sisted, briefly, in this : The original resolution provided 
that the disbanded companies and their officers should 
be reinstated as a part of the military force of the State, 
and that the companies thus reinstated should receive 
payment for armory rent and military duty performed 
from the time of their disbandment, in 1855, down. The 
substitute provided for the honorable discharge of the 



IVAJ? OF THE REBELLION, 1 861-1865. 31 

companies and their officers, and did not provide for 
armory rent or for payment for military duty since 1855. 
This arrangement, while not fully realizing the expecta- 
tions of the friends of the original resolution, was, never- 
theless, a fair one under existing circumstances. It ac- 
knowledged and vindicated the loyalty of the Irish 
companies, which loyalty had been questioned and 
assailed by the Know Nothing regime. 

The following is an extract from Governor Bucking- 
ham's inaugural address, 1861 : 

The requisition for troops from the Secretary of War, 
did not call for chaplains. I have, however, no hesita- 
tion in recommending the appointment of one to each 
regiment, at the expense of this State ; and as many of 
our adopted citizens, connected with the Roman Catholic 
Church, have manifested their loyalty by uniting with the 
volunteers, I would recommend, also, the appointment 
of two additional chaplains of that religious faith to each 
brigade. 

The following communication was also' of especial 
significance ; it shows that the idea of an Irish regiment 
had been entertained even previous to the passage of the 
foregoing legislation : 

State of Connecticut, 

Office of the Commander-in-Chief, 

Norwich, April 26, 1861. 
Capt. Thos. W. Cahill, 

Emmet Guard. 

Dear Sir: — Yours of the 25th inst., enclosing the 
resolutions of the Emmet Guard, asking "Whether the 
services of a regiment composed of Irish adopted citizens 
would be received by the State authorities with the under- 
standing that the regiment nominate their own officers 
throughout?" [is received]. 

In reply, I am directed by the Governor to say that a 
regiment composed of Irish adopted citizens would be 
received and the wishes of the regiment consulted and 



32 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

respected in the appointment of officers. No one would 
intentionally be pressed who was unacceptable. 

Very respectfully, 

O. N. Shipman, 

Executive Secretary. 

On May 3, 1861, Mr. Byington introduced, in the State 
Senate, the following: 

Whereas, Honorable mention has been made of the 
fidelity and patriotism of our adopted citizens, by the 
Governor of the State in his usual message to this body, 
and 

Whereas, It being understood that large numbers of 
this class of our fellow citizens desire to organize them- 
selves into a regiment for the defence of our common 
country, therefore, 

Resolved, That the Governor be, and he hereby is, re- 
quested to accept such regiment of adopted citizens, and 
to muster them into service as necessity or occasion may 
require. 

On motion the resolution was referred to the Joint 
Standing Committee on Military Aflfairs. 

As soon as it was decided to form an Irish regiment, 
much enthusiasm was manifested in the interest of such 
an organization, and great activity prevailed. Recruit- 
ing places were established, patriotic appeals were issued 
through the press and from the platform, posters were 
put up, inviting enlistments, and other effective steps 
taken. Recruits began to pour in. One company, (A), 
and the nucleus of two others, for the new regiment, went 
into camp at Hartford. Great interest in "The Irish 
Regiment"^ was manifested in New Haven, Bridgeport, 
Hartford, Waterbury, Meriden, Norwich and many other 
places throughout the State. No longer were heard 
sneers at the "foreign-born." The Know Nothing cabal 

1 Certain regiments organized in Connecticut were called at home by such names 
as "The Lyon Regiment," "The Charter Oak Regiment," " The Irish Regiment," 
etc.

had been driven from power by an indignant people. 
Strong arms were needed to defend the Nation and the 
Irish of Connecticut nobly responded. On May 17, 1861, 
the following notice under the head "A Chance for Vol- 
unteers," a|)peared in the New Haven Palladium: "A 
recruiting office is now opened in Engineers' Hall, Arti- 
zan street, [New Haven], to those who would serve the 
country and protect its flag. Office open every evening 
from 7 until 9 o'clock, when persons can receive all 
necessary information. John Duffy." 

The following is the text of a poster displayed at New 
Haven and probably elsewhere : "Forward the 9th !" 
Here followed a woodcut of an American eagle defend- 
ing the American shield. The poster then continued : 
"9th Regiment, Irish Volunteers ! This destined to be 
gallant Regiment, organized under the auspices of His 
Excellency, the Governor of this State, to be officered by 
Irishmen throughout, is now rapidly filling up. All per- 
sons wishing to join, can receive further information at 
the Headquarters, in Crown street, 3 doors from Church 
street. New Haven, Conn." 

Another poster with the heading "Forward the Ninth !" 
displayed an eagle holding the inscription, "The Union 
must be preserved." The poster then went on to say 
that "The Emmet Guards, lately commanded by Thomas 
W. Cahill, now Colonel of the 9th Regiment, Connecti- 
cut Volunteers, require a few more men to complete the 
maximum number required by the State. Application 
may be made at the camp ground or at the tent on the 
green." Then followed information as to the pay of pri- 
vates, the matter of bounty, etc., as follows : United 
States pay per month, $13 ; Bounty from State of Con- 
necticut, per year, $30; Bounty to soldier's wife, per 
mionth, $6; Bounty to wife and child per month, 
$8 ; Bounty to wife and two children, per month, 
$10, "making the pay of privates who enlist in Connecti- 
cut companies range from fifteen dollars and fifty cents to 

3

NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 



twenty-five dollars and fifty cents, according to size of 
family. In addition, $ioo of bounty from the United 
States when honorably discharged. " This poster was 
signed : "Michael McCarten, Captain." 

Capt. Cahill was commissioned Colonel of the Ninth, 
Sept. 3, 1861. Lieut. -Col. Richard Fitz Gibbon^ and 
Major Frederick Frye, of the regiment, had already seen 
active service in the field, the former as a captain in the 
First Regiment, C. V., and the latter as a captain m the 
Third Regiment, C. V. 

Under the head of "The Emmet Guard Going," the 
New Haven Palladium, Sept. 5, 1861, states that "At a 
large and enthusiastic meeting of the Emmet Guard, 
[New Haven], last evening, Lieutenant Maher in the 
chair, it was voted to- enlist for the war. The meeting 
was addressed by Col. (late Capt.) Cahill in a feeling and 
eloquent manner. They will meet at their armory to- 
morrow night to receive such members as may wish to 
join their war organization." At the meeting, Sept. 4, 
here described, the Emmets adopted a preamble and reso- 
lutions, regretting the loss of Cahill as captain of the 
Guard, but expressing satisfaction at his promotion to 
the rank of Colonel of the Ninth Regiment. Thanks 
were also extended Lieut. McCarten, "who now retires to 
occupy a more advanced position." The committee on 
these resolutions consisted of Engineer McCaffrey, Lieut. 
Wrinn and Adjutant Geary. 

On Sept. 9, 1 86 1, the New Haven Palladium stated 
that "The 9th (Irish) Regiment, C. V., is to be removed 
to-day or to-morrow from their present camp ground at 
Hartford to this city, taking position on Mr. Hallock's 
field at the right of the 6th and 7th. This is done be- 
cause it is apparent that the regiment will be largely re- 
cruited from this section of the State. On this account 
— although we believe the Hartford camps to be com- 
fortably situated — we welcome the change as a good one. 

'Generally spelled Fitz Gibbons in the records. 



WAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 35 

The regiment will probably be filled in ten days from 
this time." 

Sept. 10, 1861, the Palladium notes that the Emmet 
Guard, of New Haven, "led by Colonel (late Captain) 
Cahill, made a very fine show in their parade yesterday 
afternoon. At its close, Mr. Bartholomew Healy gave 
them a fine entertainment at the Broad Street Hotel. 
The parade was a very admirable one, which did much 
credit to those engaged in it." 

In the Hartford C our ant, Sept. 12, 1861, appeared the 
following: "Lieut. Wm. Wright, late of the 3d Regiment, 
C. v., will open a recruiting office to-day, under the 
American Hall, [Hartford], for the purpose of enlisting 
a company for the 9th Regiment. He is desirous of 
having his company composed exclusively of Irishmen ; 
and as there has not been a company raised as yet in this 
city for the 9th Regiment, it is to be hoped he will meet 
with liberal encouragement. There is no reason why 
Hartford should not be represented by a full com- 
pany of Irishmen in the 9th, under Col. Cahill ; they can 
be raised, and Lieut. Wright will do it. Go and hear 
Father Quinn's lecture at St. Peter's church to-night. 
He will tell you all about the war." This is believed to 
have been the Father Quinn who was chaplain in a 
Rhode Island regiment. Lieut. Wright was commis- 
sioned Captain of Co. G, of the Ninth, and was one of 
the best officers that ever carried a sword.

THE rendezvous of the Ninth, being finally estab- 
lished in New Haven, was named "Camp Welch" 
in honor of the then mayor of the city. Col. Cahill 
issued his first regimental order Sept. 19, 1861. He 
states that "In issuing this, the first order, the command- 
ant feels that not a moment should be lost which can be 
used to advance the military knowledge so necessary to 
every man who aspires to be a soldier. For this reason, 
it will be necessary for commandants of companies to 
devote every possible moment to the purposes of drill 
and instruction of their respective companies. All offi- 
cers in command will, therefore, observe the following 
order until further notice. * * * " jjg then orders 
that at reveille, "the men of each command will turn out 
on their respective company grounds, and place their 
tents and quarters in proper order under direction of the 
commandants, until the chiefs of squads are appointed, 
and the guard tents by the guard or prisoners. The 
companies will turn out promptly for drill at 7^ o'clock 
a. m., until 9J a. m., at which time the companies will 
assemble on their respective grounds for detail for guard 
mounting and other duty. The men and officers will 
again fall in for drill at 2 o'clock p. m., until 4 o'clock 
p. m. The roll will be called every morning at reveille, 
and the reports submitted to Lieut. -Col. Fitz Gibbons for 
inspection and consolidation." 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-186^. 37 

A representative of the New Haven Register had 
visited the camp Sept. 10, 1861, and stated in his paper 
the next day that "We strolled through the camp of the 
6th, 7th and 9th Regiments yesterday, and were gratified 
with the neat and tidy appearance of the grounds and 
equipage. The men appeared cheerful and contented. 
They appear to be an excellent body of men. No com- 
plaints are heard about, "rations," and the officers are one 
and all bending down to the work of preparing the men 
for active service. * * * " 

Early in the history of the Ninth, a band was organ- 
ized and comprised some of the best musicians in the 
State. The organization numbered, at the start, 25 
members with Christian Streit as leader. The places 
represented were New Haven, East Haven, Meriden, 
Brooklyn, Clinton, Wallingford and Naugatuck. It 
was stated to have been one of the best bands that ever 
marched at the head of a regiment. 

While the Ninth was overwhelmingly composed of 
men who were of Irish blood, and Catholic in creed, 
quite a number in the command were neither Irish nor 
Catholic. But all were patriots and were united, like a 
band of brothers, to defend the Flag. In no regiment 
that went to the front was there a more intense American 
spirit or more loyal devotion to the cause of the Union. 

While the Ninth was in Camp Welch,^ New Haven, 
many events of interest took place. Visitors to the 
camp Avere numerous and much interest was shown 
toward the regiment. On one occasion, George A. 
Shubert, of New Haven, sent Capt. Michael McCarten a 
check for $50 as a contribution to the latter's 
company. Mr. Shubert's generosity was promptly and 
cordially acknowledged by the Captain, Sept. 28, 1861. 
On another occasion, the following event took place as 
narrated in a New Haven paper: 

^Referred to sometimes as "Camp English." The Fifteenth Connecticut 
named their quarters in that vicinity, "Camp Lyon." 



38 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

"Presentation. — Quite a pleasant affair came off at 
the residence of Mr. Thomas Healy, No. i6 Factory 
street, [New Haven], on Wednesday evening, it being 
the presentation of three fine regulation swords, with all 
the necessary accompaniments, together with pistols, to 
Captain McCarten, Lieutenants John G. Healy and John 
Shaw, of the "Emmets," 9th Regiment, C. V. Sergeants 
McKenna and Gately, of the same Company, were also 
the recipients of two fine pistols. The articles were the 
gifts of several of our influential citizens, and were pre- 
sented on behalf of the donors, by Wm. Downes, Esq., 
whose remarks were appropriately responded to by the 
fortunate recipients. Remarks were also made by Mr. 
Bartholomew Healy, and Mr. Thomas Healy, (father of 
Lieut. Healy), who regretted that his age disqualified 
him from entering with his son into the service of this, 
his adopted country. The ceremonies, which were of a 
very interesting nature, being concluded, the party, at 
the invitation of Mr. H. partook of a most bountiful sup- 
ply of refreshments, and adjourned at an early hour, feel- 
ing conscious that they had participated in the ceremo- 
nies of placing in the hands of men, implements which 
would be wielded powerfully by them in defence of this, 
our glorious country."' 

About this time, also, a sword, sash and belt were pre- 
sented Capt. Duffy of the Ninth. The sword was of 
French manufacture, had a double-gilt hilt, and bore the 
inscription: "Presented to Capt. John Duffy by Citizens 
of New Haven, Oct., 1861.'' The PaUadinin stated at the 
time that the sword, belt and sash would be "on exhibi- 
tion in Malley's window on Chapel street." In the Palla- 
dium, Oct. 28, 1 86 1, is a paragraph stating that "Lieut. 
Lawrence O'Brien, of the 9th Regiment, C. V., was pre- 
sented with a sword, sash, belt, etc., by the Sodality of 
the B. V. M., a society connected with St. Patrick's 
church, [New Haven]. It was a good gift to a worthy 
olificer." Other commissioned officers in the regiment 



IVAJi OF THE REBELLION, 1 861-1863. 39 

were similarly honored by various organizations and 
friends. Lieut. Daniel Carroll, for instance, was pre- 
sented a sword, sash and belt by the Davis Literary 
Institute of New Haven, and other friends. The presenta- 
tion speech was delivered by Robert Scully, to which the 
recipient feelingly replied. There were also addresses by 
Patrick Sisk, B. Hogan and other gentlemen. The 
Hartford C our ant, Nov. 2, 1861, stated that "Lieutenants 
Clinton and Burke of Capt. Wright's Company of this 
city, were presented, Thursday, with sword, sash and 
belt, by their friends in Hartford." 

In its issue of Oct. 8, 1861, the New Haven Palladium 
says : " * * * We are personally acquainted with 
Capt. William Wright of Hartford, a graduate of Trinity 
College, Dublin, formerly for some years in the English 
army, who is now filling up a company for this [the 
Ninth] regiment. He lacks only about twenty men, and 
we give our assurance that they could not go under a bet- 
ter leader. Capt. Wright resigned an appointment in 
the regular L^. S. Army — having previously served in the 
three months volunteers — and ought to have his com- 
pany immediately filled. We wish all success to the 9th 
Regiment and to him." 

The Ninth was under the disadvantage, while encamped 
at New Haven, of not having arms, the latter not yet 
having been supplied. Enough Whitney guns were ob- 
tained, however, to admit of guard mounting, but beyond 
these few, the men were deprived of the benefit they 
would liave derived from the possession of guns. The 
latter were not delivered to the regiment until it had 
reached Ship Island, Miss. In the meantime, however, 
much solid work was devoted to marching and other 
evolutions, the drill being constant and thorough. The 
men rapidly learned the duties of the soldier, in camp 
and on the march, and were also instructed as to manoeu- 
vres in skirmish and battle. The Ninth was composed 
of splendid material, as was subsequently acknowledged 



4°

by Gen. Phelps, Gen. Butler and other competent author- 
ities. Its record at the front, in fidelity and bravery, was 
excelled by no regiment in the service. A uniform of 
blue was furnished the regiment by the State, while en- 
camped at New Haven, but without arms the regiment's 
progress was, of course, somewhat retarded, in certain 
respects, at that time. However, this was speedily made 
up when the command went South. 

Previous to its departure from New Haven, in 1861, 
the regiment used to attend Mass, on Sunday, at St. 
John's church, and on at least one occasion, Mass was 
celebrated in Camp Welch by the Rev. John Smith of the 
church just mentioned. On Nov. 17, 1861, the Rev. 
Daniel Mullen, of Winchester (Winsted), enlisted into 
the regiment as chaplain of the latter, and remained with 
it until late in August, 1862, when poor health compelled 
him to resign. 

Among the Connecticut places represented in the 
regiment were the following:

A few facts relative to the composition of each of the 
ten companies^ in the regiment, in 1861, are here pre- 
sented : 

Company A, Capt. John Duf¥y, was composed princi- 
pally of New Haven men, but Danbury, Derby, Hartford, 
Enfield, Branford and Waterbury were also represented. 
Later during the war, other Connecticut places had rep- 
resentatives in the company. 

Company B, Capt. Patrick GanT-ey, had a large num- 
ber of Meriden and New Haven men in 1861. Other 
places represented in the company, at this time, were 
Middletown, Windsor, Cheshire, Waterbury, Wood- 
bridge, Hamden, Farmington, Portland, Norfolk, New 
Britain, Wallingford and Southington. 

Company C, Capt. Michael McCarten, was chiefly 
made up of New Haven men, though Bridgeport, Hart- 
ford, Norwich, Waterbury and New London were also 
represented. 

Company D, Capt. Thomas C. Coates, was composed 
principally of Bridgeport men. Other localities repre- 
sented in the company, at the outset, were New Haven, 
Plymouth, Norwalk, Fairfield and Meriden. 

Company E, Capt. James P. Hennessey. This was 
another New Haven company, with a sprinkling of mem- 
bers from Derby, Hartford, New Britain, Middletown, 
Hamden and elsewhere. 

Company F, Capt. John Foley, had about 48 Water- 
bury men, in 1861, including the brothers, Michael P. 
and John P. Coen, both of whom were corporals. Later, 
other Waterbury men were in the company. Other 

1 As the war progressed, there were, of course, many changes among officers and 
men of the companies. A roll of the regiment will be found toward the close of this 
volume. 



42 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

places represented in it, in 1861, included Bridgeport, 
Hartford, New Haven, Plymouth and Norwich. 

Company G, Capt. William Wright, had between 30 
and 40 Hartford men in its ranks at this time, and also 
men from New Haven, Bridgeport, Stonington, Wethers- 
field, Manchester, Portland, New Britain, Simsbury, 
Southington and East Windsor. 

Company H, Capt. Silas W. Sawyer, included about 
30 Norwich men, in 1861, besides members from Bridge- 
port, Griswold, New Haven, Portland, Groton, New 
London and Danbury. There were more Norwich men 
in the company later. 

Company I, Capt. Elliot M. Curtis, had at this time 
about 28 men from Bridgeport, the rest of the company 
including Stratford, Hartford, Plymouth, Monroe, Bris- 
tol, Wolcott, Berlin, Canaan, North Canaan, Bloomfield, 
Burlington, Norfolk, Salisbury, Westport, Newtown, 
Derby, Lyme, Woodbury, Seymour, Huntington, Plain- 
field and New Hartford men. 

Company K, Capt. John A. Nelson, was made up from 
Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Derby, Griswold, 
Bethel, Easton, Winchester, Simsbury, Fairfield, New- 
town and Danbury. 

The Ninth was a three-years regiment. New Haven 
furnished nearly 400 men to the command during the 
latter's period of service, and thus easily lead in numbers. 
The four other Connecticut places most largely repre- 
sented were Bridgeport, Waterbury, Hartford and Nor- 
wich. The youngest member of the Ninth, in 1861, was 
Richard Hennessey, a drummer boy, who was not yet 
12 years of age, of Company E. He was a son of Capt. 
Hennessey of that company. Thomas Delaney, a drum- 
mer boy of Company F, Waterbury, is mentioned as 15 
years of age. His father, Patrick Delaney, was a private 
in the company. James Warren, a musician of Company 
K, is also mentioned as aged 15 years. There were sev- 
eral in the regiment, in 1861, aged, respectively, 16. 17, 
t8, 19, and so on, up to 45. 



JVAR OF THE REBELLION, iSdi-iSdj. 43 

Major-General Benjamin F. Butler, of Lowell, Mass., 
was organizing a New England Division for the expedi- 
tion against New Orleans. He came to Connecticut and 
had an interview with Governor Buckingham. The Gov- 
ernor suggested that he take the Ninth into his com- 
mand. Butler was pleased with the idea, and immediately 
accepted the offer. The necessary papers were soon 
made out by the Governor, and in a short time the Ninth 
received orders to proceed to Gen. Butler's rendezvous. 
Camp Chase, Lowell. 

An especially notable event took place at Camp Welch, 
Oct. 30, 1861, the occasion being the presentation of 
colors to the regiment. The New Haven Palladium, in 
its issue of that date, had the following report of the cere- 
monies : 

"This forenoon the Ninth Connecticut Regiment was 
presented with a brace of colors with appropriate cere- 
monies. One of them, the flag of the Union, was the 
gift of Mrs. Charles DeForest, and the other, the flag of 
the State^ was the gift of a number of patriotic ladies. 
These flags were both of silk, and were exceedingly 
beautiful. The trimmings were of the richest and most 
costly description. 

"Soon after 10 o'clock the regiment, which is com- 
posed chiefly of Irish adopted citizens, was drawn up in 
a three-quarter square, when the ladies, accompanied by 
E. K. Foster, Esq., the Rev. Mr. Harwood, and others, 
approached the lines, bearing the splendid colors of the 
State and the Nation. The Colonel and staff met the 
guests in advance of the lines, when Judge Foster ad- 
dressed the regiment in one of his usually happy efforts. 
He adverted to the great cause of Constitutional liberty 
which they were going forth to defend. He expressed an 
abiding confidence in their valor, and their determina- 
tion to stand by their colors and the cause they repre- 
sented while they were able to lift a hand in their defence. 

"Major Fry [e] then stepped forward and received the 



44 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

colors from the hands of the ladies, and responded in an 
elegant speech, pledging himself and the regiment to be 
true to the honor of the State and the welfare of the 
Nation. He regarded the gift as a sacred trust, which 
would, under all circumstances, be sacredly defended. 
He trusted that on the return of the regiment these 
colors would be brought back with it, and if soiled, it 
would only be by the dust and smoke of battle, but in 
other respects they would be more glorious than now, 
new and gorgeous as they have been made by the fair 
hands which presented them. 

"This ceremony being over, another presentation fol- 
lowed, that of an elegant regulation sword to Capt. Hen- 
nessey, of Company E, of the same regiment. Col. L. 
W. Sperry and James Thompson were neighbors of 
Capt. Hennessey, and were forward in this movement of 
giving a testimonial to his character and worth. 

"By request, J. F. Babcock addressed the Captain and 
his company, in relation to the contest in which they were 
about to engage, and the vast interests they were called 
upon to defend. He adverted to the origin of the Ameri- 
can Revolution, and the aid our fathers received from 
true hearts of other lands ; and expressed his confidence 
that the Ninth Connecticut would see that the banner of 
the State, the banner of the Union, and their own green 
flag of Erin, were not disgraced when the bugle sounded 
to the charge upon the enemy of us all. He introduced 
Col. Sperry, who presented the sword, expressing the 
highest confidence in the gallant recipient whom he 
esteemed as a neighbor, respected as a citizen, and had 
faith to believe would prove a soldier worthy of his coun- 
trymen, who had already so distinguished themselves in 
the first struggle for liberty, and in the recent efforts of 
our troops to preserve it from destruction by traitor 
hands. 

"Mr. Thompson then presented the sash and belt, all 
of which the gallant captain modestly received, declaring 



JVAJ^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 45 

that it would be his constant efifort to preserve these gifts 
from dishonor. He felt the responsibility laid upon him, 
and he believed it v^rould appear, when the struggle was 
over, that he and his men had done something in honor 
of the land of their birth, and the land of their adoption. 
The exercises were . closed with three hearty cheers for 
Messrs. Sperry, Thompson and Babcock, for Capt. Hen- 
nessey and the cause to which all patriotic hearts were 
devoted." 

The State flag mentioned here was especially de- 
signed for the Ninth. The field was of dark blue. On 
one side of the flag, in the center of the blue field, was 
the State seal, having the National seal as a background. 
On the other side appeared an Irish emblem or seal, 
comprising a green ground with a harp of gold. A spray 
of shamrock was entwined, and underneath was the in- 
scription "Erin Go Bragh." This Irish emblem was, like 
the State seal, backed by the National one, and was in the 
center of the blue field on this side of the flag. This flag, 
with the others belonging to the regiment, is now treas- 
ured among the other battle standards, at the State 
Capitol, in Hartford. 

On the last Saturday night of the regiment's stay in 
Camp Welch, New Haven, a great storm visited the 
scene. It was a perfect hurricane. Tents were blown 
down, trees uprooted, vessels in the harbor driven ashore 
and other damage inflicted. When the next morning 
dawned, a spectacle of devastation appeared on all sides. 
Matters were righted as speedily as possible, however, 
and during the day — Sunday — thousands of people 
visited the camp to bid the Ninth farewell. An interest- 
ing feature of the afternoon was the presentation of an 
Irish pike to the regiment. This pike, handsomely made, 
was manufactured by John Egan, and was spoken of by 
the New Haven Register as "The Egan Axe." The event 
took place at dress parade, about 4 p. m., and was wit- 
nessed by a great crowd. The presentation speech was 



46 N/iYTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

delivered by James Gallagher, of New Haven, he having 
been deputed for that purpose by Mr. Egan. Mr. Gal- 
lagher in his speech referred to the pike as "an emblem 
of the warlike days of your ancestors. In their hands it 
was a formidable weapon.*' Mr. Egan desired, he said, 
that it should be carried at the head of the regiment. A 
felicitous response was made. While at Camp Welch, a 
society of patriotic ladies presented each man of the regi- 
ment a useful little outfit consisting of needles, thread, 
pins, buttons, etc. The gift was much appreciated.

AMUSEMENT — "CONNECTICUT OVER THE FENCE." 

THE NINTH, about 845 strong,^ left New Haven for 
Camp Chase, Lowell, Mass., on Monday, Nov. 
4, 1861. A few days previously the men had been 
paid and given a brief leave of absence to visit their 
homes. This privilege was not abused, for when the roll 
was called, on the day of departure, every man had re- 
ported, and was in his place. 

The regiment presented a sturdy appearance as it 
moved out of Camp Welch, with band playing and colors 
flying, and was the recipient of much applause. The 
command had not received as much care and attention 
from the authorities as had been bestowed upon other 
regiments. It was not equipped, feasted and favored as 
some of the other regiments had been. Its uniforms, in 
some instances, showed the signs of wear and a suffi- 
ciency of other articles of apparel, that should have been 
supplied by the State or the National government, was 
in many cases wanting. Nevertheless, the Irish buoyancy 
of the regiment rose superior to these drawbacks. Offi- 
cers and men were no mere holiday soldiers, but were of 
the kind that would charge the foe as impetuously and 
fight him as valiantly, even without uniforms, as would 
the most handsomely uniformed regiment in the service. 

'At one period in the South, it numbered fully 900 men. Many accessions were 
received at New Orleans. 



48 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

A special train had been made up and was awaiting the 
Ninth at the intersection of Lamberton street and the 
New York & New Haven railroad. All New Haven 
was astir with enthusiasm, and a great multitude assem- 
bled at the point of embarkation to witness the regiment's 
departure. The fine band of the Ninth poured forth a 
flood of martial melody, interspersing American with 
Irish airs, the populace cheered and cheered again, hands 
were clasped through car windows and from platforms 
in last farewells and, amid a great wave of enthusiasm, 
the long train moved off. 

As it proceeded the light-hearted men of the regiment 
indulged in song and jollity. War choruses were ren- 
dered with a will, jokes were cracked and general good 
humor prevailed. Now and then a friendly wrestling 
bout would occupy attention. Take a train with over 
800 healthy young men aboard and a good deal of noise 
will be made and some paint scratched, even in sport. So 
it was in this case, and the occasion was seized upon by 
idle gossips to malign the regiment. For the Ninth had 
opponents even at home. These were the "Peace-at-any- 
Price" men, vituperative Copperheads, selfish money- 
getters who would let the Union perish rather than raise 
a hand in its defence. Yet, here was a regiment enlisted 
for three-years' service, volunteers who were going to the 
front to uphold the Flag and, if need be, lay down their 
lives that the Nation might live. How despicable the 
adverse criticism heaped upon them by cowardly or 
thoughtless stay-at-homes ! 

The wildest and most ridiculous yarns were circulated 
about the command at this stage. These stories reached 
Lowell, whither the regiment was bound, and nearly 
created a panic in that locality. It was considered wise 
by hysterical citizens to raise a force of 500 special police 
to save the place from being destroyed and plowed over, 
but Gen. Butler promptly stamped out the undertaking, 
and that was the end of it. Later, after the Ninth had 



IVAJ? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-186^. 49 

been domiciled at Camp Chase, the people of Lowell 
laughed at the fears they had entertained. 

Governor Buckingham, of Connecticut, in a letter to 
Col. Cahill, under date of February 8, 1862, alluding to 
these stories reflecting on the regiment, says : "I may, 
however, add that the whole State knows that the re- 
ports respecting your men when they left were so mis- 
represented as to be actually untrue." 

The regiment reached Lowell that evening and spent 
the night aboard the train on the outskirts of the city. 
The next forenoon the command was escorted into Camp 
Chase by the Twenty-sixth Massachusetts, a large por- 
tion of the latter being composed of citizens of Irish birth 
or parentage. Camp Chase, as already stated, was the 
rendezvous for Gen. Butler's force, at the time. Among 
the organizations there when the Ninth arrived was the 
Fourth Massachusetts Light Battery, Capt. Charles H. 
Manning, in which organization were many Irish. John 
F. Hurley, who 40 years after was elected mayor of 
Salem, Mass., was a member of this battery, and among 
other names on the roll were Barry, Bums, Carney, 
Curley, Doherty, Dolan, Donahue, Foley, Gallagher, 
Grady, Griflin, Hart, Kiernan, Kilbride, Mahoney, Mc- 
Carthy, McDonough, McElroy, Murphy, Nagle, Sulli- 
van and the like. Corporal William M. Peabody, of the 
battery, kept a diary during the war. In that diary, 
speaking of the arrival of the Ninth, in Camp Chase, he 
says : 

"Nov. 5. Tuesday. Morning dawned clear and cold. 
All traces of yesterday's storm have disappeared, and the 
usual routine of duty has been resumed. Company 
drilled this a. m., in marching. At noon the Ninth Con- 
necticut Infantry, under command of Colonel Thomas 
W. Cahill, arrived here =)= * * and was received by 
the Twenty-sixth Massachusetts Infantry, who escorted 
them into camp. As the Nutmeggers marched in we had 
4

a fine view of them, and saw that this Irish regiment was 
made up of very hardy material. The regiment, about 
900 strong, pitched camp on the parade ground between 
the headquarters building and the camp of the Twenty- 
sixth Massachusetts regiment, and were soon at home in 
their new quarters. This re-enforcement increases the 
number of troops here to about 2,400 men, and brings 
us all into pretty close quarters." 

The great storm that visited New Haven the last Sat- 
urday evening, Nov. 2, before the Ninth left Camp 
Welch, was also in evidence at Lowell. At Camp Chase, 
so heavy was the rainfall that ditches had to be dug 
around tents, and the ropes of the latter tightened to 
resist the hurricane. Tlie storm was still in force at 
midnight, and many of the men were awake because of 
it. It was only by constant watching and prompt action 
that tents were kept standing in the camp of the Fourth 
Massachusetts battery. The camp of the Twenty-sixth 
Massachusetts regiment, however, did not fare so well, 
a large number of the regiment's tents being blown 
down. Whole companies were left without shelter, and a 
thorough drenching was inflicted on their property. The 
Eastern Bay State regiment, in camp, also^ suffered 
severely in like manner. The parade ground was turned 
into a lake. By the time the Ninth reached Lowell, 
however, the camp was again in good condition. 

Camp Chase occupied what was known as the Lowell 
Fair Grounds. It was named in honor of the Hon. Salmon 
P. Chase, Secretary of the United States Treasury, in the 
cabinet of President Lincoln. The camp comprised a 
large number of acres, the land being hard and level. 
Part of the site had been used as a race course, and was 
still in that condition. The entrance to the course was 
located at the northwest corner, and here were large 
gates opening out to the Billerica road. Nearby was the 
guard house. The Fair building was still standing. It 
was now devoted to the following uses: the first floor 



IVAJi OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 5 1 

was utilized as dining quarters for the troops ; the second, 
as offices for the Commandant of the post, for the 
Surgeon and for quartermaster and commissary stores. 
The cooking for the soldiers was done in a long, low 
one-story building constructed of rough boards. 

Like most other regiments, the Ninth had a pet or two, 
so that when big Bill Allen marched into Camp Chase 
with the regiment that day, leading a bulldog by a string, 
and carrying a cat under his arm, a roar of merriment 
greeted the appearance of the Connecticut warrior. 
Camp Chase was surrounded by a high board fence. At 
mtervals, when oflf duty, a few men of the Ninth, in 
search of relaxation and change of scene, would scale 
this fence and drop down on the other side. From this 
arose the phrase "Connecticut over the fence." Men 
from other commands in camp would also scale the fence, 
but no matter to what organization they belonged, the 
phrase was always "Connecticut over the fence." So 
that members of the Ninth were often blamed for the 
doings of men from other organizations on the field. 

Once a man getting over the fence, was lightly prod- 
ded by a bayonet in the hands of a sentry. The humor 
of this, and the literal execution of orders, so pleased 
Gen. Butler that he made the sentry a sergeant. 

While at Lowell, the Ninth received many visitors 
from home, this pleasantly serving to relieve the monot- 
ony of camp life. Gen. Butler early formed a liking 
for the regiment, and did everything that was then pos- 
sible for its comfort and welfare. On Nov. 10, an in- 
spection of all the troops in camp, including the Ninth, 
took place, conducted by Gen. Butler. 

Butler visited the camp again on Nov. 12, this being 
the third day in succession he had done so. This circum- 
stance, together with the fact that extensive supplies of 
clothing had lately been received, gave rise to the belief 
that a movement of some kind was soon to take place. 
On Nov. 15, the Fourth Massachusetts battery was mus- 



52 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

tered into the United States service, the oath being 
administered by Col. E. F. Jones, of the Twenty-sixth 
Massachusetts. The men of the battery raised their 
right hands, "each man repeating the oath after the 
Colonel." 

During the Ninth's stay at Lowell, the officers and 
men wrote many letters to loved ones at home. Some of 
these letters have been shown us, having been sacredly 
treasured these forty years. They all breathe a spirit of 
Christianity and patriotism. Poor Corporal John P. 
Coen, of Waterbury, who was accidentally killed in 
Louisiana ! We have several of his letters before us as 
we write; letters to his father, mother, wife and sisters; 
letters sometimes signed jointly by himself and his 
brother. Corporal Michael P. Coen, expressing affection 
for their kin and kindliest good will for neighbors and 
associates in Waterbury. May these letters be treasured 
a century to come for the noble lessons they teach ! 

On Nov. i8, Col. Cahill issued the following:

On Nov. 19, Corporal Peabody, of the Fourth Massa- 
chusetts Light Battery, wrote in his diary : 

"Company placed under marching orders to-day. 
About 9 a. m., the 26th Mass. and 9th Connecticut regi- 
ments broke up camp and in heavy marching order 
moved out to the railroad track. There, a long train of 
cars awaited them, and embarking, they proceeded for 
Boston, leaving their tents standing for the use of other 
troops to assemble here." 

The next day, Nov. 20, the battery just mentioned 
also proceeded to Boston and joined the Twenty-sixth 
Massachusetts and Ninth Connecticut regiments aboard 
the Constitution. The troops remaining in Camp Chase, 
were the Eastern Bay State regiment and three 
companies of Rifle Rangers, the whole force numbering 
about 500 men. The Constitution lay at Long Wharf, 
Boston. She was a new steamship of 3,000 tons burthen 
and belonged to the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. She 
had been constructed for the carrying trade between 
Panama and San Francisco, and was in excellent condi- 
tion for the business of a military transport. For this 
purpose, double-berth bunks had been constructed on 
each side and, lengthwise, through the centre. These 
bunks were located on the middle and third decks. The 
two regiments and the battery aboard comprised a total 
force of 1,946, all commanded by Col. E. F. Jones, of the 
Twenty-sixth Massachusetts. This was the Col. Jones 



54 



NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 



who had commanded the Sixth Massachusetts, on its 
passage through Baltimore, in April, when attacked by 
a mob. He was a brave officer. 

The commander of the ship itself was Capt. Fuller, a 
veteran of the wave, and some 50 years of age. It was 
stated that the government was paying $2,000 per day 
for the use of the Constitution. Strict discipline was 
maintained by Col. Jones before sailing. Guards were 
placed at the gangway of the ship, and up the wharf. 
No visitors were allowed aboard and no passes were 
issued to the soldiers. Meanwhile, supplies were being 
rapidly taken aboard, and every effort was being made 
to sail as quickly as possible. Among other goods aboard 
was a supply of Enfield rifles for the Ninth, which, how- 
ever, were not then distributed. The men from Connec- 
ticut and Massachusetts passed the time in various ways 
and eagerly awaited the hour for departure. During the 
afternoon of Nov. 20, a large barque displaying French 
colors arrived in port and caused much interest among 
the spectators on the Constitution. The officers and men 
of the Ninth were in excellent health and spirits and 
eager to get to the front to participate m active opera- 
tions against the foe. 

Nov. 21 dawned cold, but pleasant. Up to this time, 
very few on the Constitution knew the destination of the 
ship, and there was considerable speculation as to where 
the force would land. The stevedores finished their 
work of loading the ship about ii a. m., and Capt. Fuller 
began issuing his orders for the start. The lines 
were cast ofif at 11.30, and the Constitution began her 
vovasre seaward. 



CHAPTER IV. 

THE BAND OF THE NINTH ENLIVENS THE TRIP DOWN 
BOSTON HARBOR — THE JOURNEY TO PORTLAND, ME. 
— THE TWELFTH MAINE INFANTRY EXPECTS TO BE 
TAKEN ABOARD, BUT IS SENT BACK — TRIP FROM 
PORTLAND TO FORTRESS MONROE — GEN. PHELPS 
COMES ABOARD THE "CONSTITUTION" AND ASSUMES 
COMMAND OF THE TROOPS — THE VOYAGE TO SHIP 
ISLAND, MISS. 

AS the Constitution left the wharf, she was given 
hearty cheers by the large crowd that had assem- 
bled to see her off. The deck was a mass of soldiers who 
waved farewells to the people on shore. The band of the 
Ninth struck up a lively air and continued to play until 
well down Boston harbor. The Constitution at first 
picked her way cautiously owing to the shipping in the 
harbor, but when clear of this, more steam was put on 
and the ship increased her speed. 

Samuel Colby, a veteran Boston pilot, was aboard, and 
safely guided the Constitution down toward the bay. Fort 
Independence, on the starboard, was passed and Fort 
Winthrop, to larboard. Lower down, Fort Warren was 
sighted. All this lime, the band of the Ninth kept play- 
ing, "to the great delight of the boys." By i p. m. the 
ship was pretty well outside, and the effect of the waves 
began to make itself felt on board. Many of the men 
showed indications of seasickness and clung to the rail 
or sought their berths below deck. The Constitution 
once clear of the lower harbor, shaped her course north- 
erlv for Portland, Me., the object being to take on a 
Maine regiment at that place. 

The ship was now making about nine miles an hour. 
At 4 p. m. she was running up the coast, through a rough 



56 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

sea. Only about a third of the force aboard remained 
on deck, the rest having gone below. The weather was 
cold, and those on deck were as well mufifled up as cir- 
cumstances would permit. At sunset, the Constitution 
was off Thatcher's Island and about five miles from that 
point. By this time, many of those on deck were shel- 
tered in nooks around the smokestack, and elsewhere, to 
avoid the biting winds. Night came down cold, but clear. 
About 9 p. m. the ship was off Portsmouth, N. H., and 
at midnight reached Portland, Me. 

The next morning, Nov. 22, 1861, was cold. The Con- 
stitution was anchored about a mile from the wharves, 
and from her deck a good view of Portland could be ob- 
tained, and was much enjoyed by the men of the Ninth. 
About 9 a. m. the steamer Forest City, with the Twelfth 
Maine Infantry aboard, came out to the Constitution. 
Col. George F. Shepley was in command of the regiment, 
and the intention was to transfer it from the Forest City 
to the Constitution for transportation south with the Con- 
necticut and Massachusetts troops. Owing to the crowd 
already on the Constitution, however. Col. Jones finally 
decided not to take the Twelfth aboard, and ordered the 
regiment to return to Portland, proceed to Camp 
Chase, Lowell, and there report to Gen. Butler. Pay- 
master Roland G. Usher, U. S. Volunteers, left Portland 
in a rowboat about noon, came aboard the Constitution 
and soon began distributing one month's pay to the 
Twenty-sixth Massachusetts regiment and the Fourth 
Massachusetts Light Battery. The next forenoon, Nov. 
23, some 200 tons of coal were taken aboard ; also two 
pilots — Sewall Drinkwater and David Jackson. There 
were now four pilots on the Constitution — Samuel Colby, 
of Boston ; Richard H. Collins, of New York, and 
Messrs. Drinkwater and Jackson, just mentioned. 

Sunday, Nov. 24, the ship was well out, and making 
good progress on a southerly course. There was a 
heavy sea running and many of the oflficers and men 



IVAJ^ OF THE REBELLION, i86i-iS6s. 57 

were disagreeably aware of that fact. The Constitution 
made her fastest time at night when the soldiers were 
asleep and all was quiet aboard. Corporal Peabody of 
the Fourth Massachusetts Light Battery, to whose diary 
we are much indebted, makes the following entry : 

"Nov. 26, Tuesday. Morning opened warmer and clear. 
Many on board think that we are now ofif the coast of 
Virginia, and this belief has given the sick new life and 
energy ; for this morning the deck is crowded with men, 
all of them being cheerful and happy. Since midnight 
the course of our ship has been almost due west, which 
causes the belief that Capt. Fuller intends to make port. 
All hands are on the lookout for land, and all are re- 
warded for their trouble, for about 9 a. m., a small speck 
is seen far away to the South which, growing larger as 
the Constitution rapidly approaches, reveals to view the 
sandy beach and tall trees on Cape Henry. Every man 
able to crawl was at this time on deck viewing with the 
intensest interest the scenerv^ around us. At 10 a. m., we 
passed inside Capes Henry and Charles, and were in 
Hampton Roads." 

Fortress Alonroe is located about seven miles up the 
Roads. The Constitution steamed slowly and at about 1 1 
a. m., dropped anchor within a mile of the fort. It now 
became reported among the Ninth that the object of the 
ship in coming here was to take aboard Gen. John W. 
Phelps, who was to assume command of the expedition. 
The location of Fortress Monroe, at the extreme end of 
Old Point Comfort, Va., made it a place of great strategic 
importance, and the works were, consequently, of tre- 
mendous strength. At this period they covered about 60 
acres and constituted the strongest regular fortification 
in the United States. During the forenoon of Nov. 27, 
the Constitution was busy taking on supplies, and it now 
became generally known, to those aboard ship, that the 
destination of the latter was Ship Island, Gulf of Mexico. 

General Phelps came on board about i p. m., and as- 



58 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

sumed command. He was a native of Vermont, born 
Nov. 13, 1813. He was a tall man, and of medium, but 
strong-, build. His hair and beard were of an iron gray 
and his address very pleasing. He graduated from West 
Point in 1836, served in the Fourth U. S. Artillery in the 
operations against the Creek Indians, distinguished him- 
self in the Florida war and in the war with Mexico, in 
which latter conflict he served under Gen. Scott, and par- 
ticipated in the capture of the City of Mexico. On the 
breaking out of the Civil War, he was made Colonel of 
the First Vermont Infantry, and on May 17, 1861, be- 
came a brigadier-general of volunteers. He permitted 
no mere show or parade upon taking command on the 
Constitution, and created a very favorable impression. At 
5 p. m., the anchor was "hove up" and the ship stood out 
to sea. Cape Henry was passed about 5.45 p. m., the 
course was shaped to the southward, and the Ninth and 
the other organizations aboard were on their way to Ship 
Island. 

The Florida coast was sighted during the forenoon of 
Nov. 30, about ten miles away, and the men of the Ninth 
left their recreations, and hastened to get a glimpse of the 
scene. Not much was visible, however, but a low, dark 
fringe of coast and at times even this was not in plain 
view. About 8 p. m., on Sunday, Dec. i, the revolving 
light on a distant reef, the extreme southern point of 
Florida, was sighted. It was some ten miles away. The 
weather was pleasant, the night clear, the sky studded 
with stars and the sea smooth as glass. The Ninth, and 
other troops, crowded the main deck intent upon enjoying 
these delightful conditions and witnessing every object of 
interest. The Constitution rounded the light above men- 
tioned at 9.30 p. m., being then about five miles distant, 
and entered the Gulf of Mexico. On Tuesday morning, 
Dec. 3, a portion of the Alabama coast was in sight, some 
seven miles away, on the starboard side. The aspect was 
not particularly attractive, but was intently viewed by the 



IV A /i OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 59 

troops. Ships of the Union blockading fleet were 
sighted about 2.30 p. m., and a hour later more warships 
were passed. At 4 p. m., the Constitution dropped anchor 
in Mississippi Sound, half a mile off the westerly end of 
Ship Island. Here the voyage of the Constitution ended. 
The New Haven Palladium, Dec. 19 1861, states that 
"At Ship Island, on the 4th, Major Frye, of the Connecti- 
cut 9th, accompanying Gen. Phelps to the island pre- 
vious to the disembarkation of the troops, hoisted upon 
the lighthouse there the beautiful American flag pre- 
sented to the regiment just before its departure from this 
city." 

Ship Island had been selected as the rendezvous for the 
troops that were to act in conjunction with the fleet for 
the capture, from the Confederates, of New Orleans. In 
the War of 1812. the island had been used for a similar 
purpose by the British, preparatory to their attack on the 
same city, then defended by that gallant soldier of Irish 
parentage — Gen. Andrew Jackson. 

On the morning of Dec. 4, 1861, everybody aboard the 
Constitution was awake at an early hour, and after break- 
fast, began preparing to go ashore. About 9 o'clock, a 
river steamer, the Henry Lezvis, came alongside. She 
took the Twenty-sixth Massachusetts on board and 
landed the regiment at the wharf on Ship Island. At 10 
a. m., the Ninth Connecticut regiment, and the Fourth 
Massachusetts Light Battery, were conveyed from the 
Constitution to the wharf by the same steamer. An hour 
later, a lot of camp equipage was brought ashore 
and the soldiers began securing their belongings. 
The Henry Lewis continued plying back and forth 
some time, transferring supplies and other material, 
and at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon the troops went 
into camp on the island. The Ninth was located on 
ground near the lighthouse, with the Twenty-Sixth 
Massachusetts close by. The Massachusetts Light bat- 
tery was located at the rear of Fort Massachusetts, about 



6o NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

300 yards from the wharf. The men slept soundly that 
night. The next day, the various commands did consider- 
able work toward improving their respective camps. Gen. 
Phelps established his headquarters in a house formerly 
occupied by the keeper of the light. The steamer Henry 
Lewis continued plying back and forth this day, between 
the Constitution and the wharf, and brought ashore a 
great amount of supplies. These were taken in charge 
by the commissary and the quartermaster. fShip Island 
is a dreary place, eight or ten miles long, and varying in 
width from a few hundred yards to a mile. It is about 
ten miles from the nearest mainland and a few hours by 
steamer from the mouth of the Mississippi. The island 
is little more than a big sand bar, and the walking in the 
loose sand is neither easy nor pleasant. The water be- 
tween the island and the mainland is known as Missis- 
sippi Sound. Through this sound, the enemy had been 
carrying on an extensive trade with New Orleans and 
Mobile. They used river steamers, chiefly. The Henry 
Lezvis, for instance, already mentioned, had thus been 
used by the rebels, and was bound from New Orleans to 
Mobile, with a cargo of sugar and molasses, when cap- 
tured by our blockading fleet. Ship Island is one of a 
chain of islands, the others including Cat Island, Horn 
Island, Petit Bois Island and Dauphin Island. Of these. 
Cat Island is about five miles to the westward of Ship 
Island, and Petit Bois is about sixteen miles to the east- 
ward. One of the few good points about Ship Island 
was that water could easily be obtained by digging a hole, 
three or four feet deep, in the sand. Before* the war, the 
island had been a Summer resort for wealthy families of 
the Gulf States, on account of the health-giving breezes. 
A large hotel had been located here, but about all that 
remained of it now was a chimney, 25 or 30 feet high, 
and a pile of debris. Sharks and porpoises were in evi- 
dence in the waters surrounding the island, and thou- 
sands of gulls collected daily in the neighborhood. On 



JVAJ^ OF THE REBELLION, i86i-iUj. 6i 

one part of the island was a forlorn forest of oak and 
pine. Ship Island was well situated as a base for opera- 
tions against New Orleans."' At the breaking out of the 
war, the U. S. Government was constructing a fort on 
the island, the large force of men engaged being under 
Lieut. F. E. Prime, U. S. Engineer. On July 6, 1861, 
a Confederate force, consisting of three companies of the 
Fourth Louisiana Infantry, under Capt. Higgins, ar- 
rived on two steamers from New Orleans, landed on the 
island, captured Lieut. Prime and his men and sent them 
North. The Confederates then landed guns, ammuni- 
tion and supplies, erected barracks and started to com- 
plete the fort. At 7 o'clock on the evening of Sept. 16, 
1 86 1, the Federal gunboat Massachusetts, and the sloops- 
of-war Marion and Preble, appeared ofif the island, so 
alarming the enemy that the latter evactuated, having, be- 
fore their departure, set fire to the barracks and shanties, 
the woodwork of the fort, and the lighthouse. Since 
then our people had been in possession of the island. 
The fort — Massachusetts — had been put in as good con- 
dition as circumstances would permit and, when the 
Ninth Connecticut landed, was garrisoned by 170 seaman 
and marines under command of Lieut. Thomas McKean 
Buchanan, executive officer of the gunboat Massachusetts. 
In an easterly direction from Gen. Phelps' headquarters 
could be seen all that remained of the English ship Eliza- 
beth Bibby, that had been driven ashore by our gunboats 
while she was endeavoring to run the blockade with a 
cargo of coal. 

Among the vessels of the Federal blockading fleet in 
these waters, at the time the Ninth landed on Ship Island, 
was the gunboat Nerv London, Lieut.-Commander Reed. 
She was formerly a propeller and plied between New 
London, Conn., and New York City. She was of 221 
tons, 125 feet in length, and was purchased by the U. S. 
Government in Aug., 1861, for $30,000. In her new- 
sphere of action her armament included four 32-pound 



62 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

broadside g^uns and one 30-pound rifled pivot, which 
latter she carried in her bow. She rendered excellent 
ser\ace during the war. 

Dec. 4, 1861, Gen. Phelps issued a proclamation 
against slavery. This was considered a premature act 
and was disavowed by his superiors. Phelps, believing 
that a temporizing policy was to be followed, eventually 
resigned. Late in the afternoon of Dec. 7, the Constitution 
having completed unloading, departed for Boston. She 
was heartily cheered by men of the Ninth, and other com- 
mands, gathered on the beach. 

At Ship Island the Ninth received its arms — the En- 
field rifles already mentioned. Dec. 9, 1861, Col. Cahill 
issued "Circular No. i," containing instructions as to the 
use of the arms, and requiring every man "not detailed 
for some particular duty or on the sick list" to be kept at 
drill every available moment. Dec. 13, the Colonel 
issued "Regimental Order, No. 6," establishing the fol- 
lowing routine : 

Reveille at daybreak. 

Police call immediately after roll call. 

Surgeon's call at sunrise. 

Breakfast at 7.30 a. m. 

Company Drill from 8.30 to 10.30 a. m.

IVAJ? OF THE /REBELLION, i86i-i86s d-i, 

Saturday afternoon was to be devoted to "a thorough 
cleaning of quarters, tents, knapsacks, arms, accoutre- 
ments, etc., and to washing clothing, preparatory to the 
Sunday inspection." Regimental Order No. 7, required 
that commanders of companies in the Ninth would 
"forthwith make a requisition upon the Quartermaster 
for the number of knapsacks required for their com- 
mands, having those before issued ready to return. They 
will also make a requisition forthwith for the number of 
canteens, blankets and tin cups now needed in their sev- 
eral commands. The Quartermaster-Sergeant will com- 
mence to issue on the above requisitions a 8 o'clock a. m., 
to-morrow * * * _" 

Speaking of the early part of the Ninth's stay at Ship 
Island, the CrolYut-Morris work on Connecticut during 
the Rebellion says of the regiment : "The men were still 
wretchedly clad, and it was midwinter. Nearly half of 
them were without shoes and as many more without 
shirts ; several had no coats or blankets. Some drilled 
in primitive attire of blouse and cotton drawers. The 
tents were hardly capacious enough to cover them. 
There was no straw to sleep on. They were without 
transportation, and were obliged to bring the wood for 
their fires four miles. This was made into rafts, and men 
almost naked, in water up to their arms, floated it down 
to camp. The Twenty-sixth Massachusetts was equipped 
with warm blankets, ample tents, and two uniform suits 
of clothing per man; and to them the members of the 
Ninth furnished a contrast which would have been amus- 
ing if it were not humiliating. With the buoyancy of the 
Irish character, the men were hopeful, and during these 
severe months sent home to their families not less than 
twenty thousand dollars, — almost their entire pay." 
r On another occasion while some of the Ninth were en- 
gaged unloading vessels, or in similar work, "they came 
upon a stock of canvas shoes consigned to the post sutler. 
These Col.Cahill immediately appropriated, receipting for 



64 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

them on his own account, and distributing them among 
his barefoot command. Gen. Phelps could find nothing 
in the regulations authorizing such an act ; but the Colo- 
nel found sufficient justification in the paramount law 
of necessity," and the men kept the shoes. The sutler 
was later reimbursed by the government. During all its 
privations, the regiment never flinched. 

When, finally, fully uniformed and equipped, the 
Ninth was excelled in appearance by no regiment in 
the service. Lieut. John G. Healy,^ of the Ninth, in 
writing home from Ship Island, under date of Dec. 12, 
[861 ; says: "For the first time since this island was dis- 
covered. Mass was ofifered up on last Sunday. I will try 
and picture to you the scene. In front of one of the 
tents, and before a rudely constructed altar, knelt about 
one thousand soldiers. Father Mullen, our worthy chap- 
lain, was offering up the sacrifice of the Mass. There in 
the soft, white sand the poor fellows prayed — prayed to 
God to protect their wives and children, their fathers, 
mothers, brothers and sisters — prayed to God to send 
them home safe to those dear ones they had left behind. 
After Mass, Father Mullen preached an excellent ser- 
mon, and during that time there were very few dry eyes. 
Our chaplain is in good health. He wishes to be remem- 
bered to you all." Making another entry, under date of 
Sunday evening, Dec. 15, 1861, the same officer says in 
his letter: "We had Mass again this morning [in the 
camp of the Ninth], and a much larger congregation than 
on last Sunday. At an early hour, all the Catholics in 
the Twenty-sixth regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers, 
came down and the U. S. Marines from the fort and ofif 
the gunboats attended. * * * In fact. Father Mul- 
len had quite a congregation." 

'Afterwards, successively, Captain and Lieutenant-Colonel.

REVIEWS AND INSPECTIONS ON SHIP ISLAND — OFFICERS 
OF THE NINTH WITNESS TARGET PRACTICE BY ARTIL-

THE ISLAND — THE NINTH PARTICIPATES IN AN EXPE- 
DITION TO BILOXI, MISS. — THE ENGAGEMENT OFF 
MISSISSIPPI CITY — REBEL GUNBOATS COME DOWN 
UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS AND OPEN HOSTILITIES. 

DECEMBER 24, 1861, opened with pleasant weather^ 
and the Ninth early received notice that a review 
and inspection of the troops was to take place that day. 
This was to be in honor of Commodore McKean, com- 
manding the fleet outside, who was to visit the island. 
At the appointed time, he put off from the Niagara, in 
his cutter, and landed on the wharf at i p. m. Here he 
was duly received, and an artillery salute was fired by the 
Fourth Massachusetts battery. As the hour for the re- 
view neared, line was formed, at 2 p. m., on the parade 
ground, by Col. Jones. The Twenty-sixth Massachusetts 
was on the right, the Ninth Connecticut on the left, and 
the Massachusetts battery in the centre. Gen. Phelps 
and his staff, with Commodore McKean and other visit- 
ors, took up position on a sandy knoll in front of the 
line and about 300 feet from the centre thereof. The 
column was set in motion at 2.30 by Col. Jones, and 
marched in review. The soft, yielding sand made the 
march very fatiguing. Half an hour later, the troops 
halted in their original position and got ready for inspec- 
tion. "This duty," says an eye-witness, "was rigidly per- 
formed by the General himself, the smallest article carried 
by the men not escaping his keen eye ; while the naval 
ofificers who accompanied him appeared to be much in- 
terested in the manner of the army doing this business."

Inspection was over at 4 p. m., and the men were dis- 
missed to their camps. An hour later, Commodore 
McKean returned to the Niagara. 

Writing from Ship Island, Christmas evening, 1861, 
Col. John G. Healy, of New Haven, then a lieutenant, 
informs his relatives at home that "We had Mass here 
to-day at 6, 7 and 10.30 o'clock. I had the honor of 
serving. Oh ! how differently was our chapel trimmed 
from that of St. John's [in New Haven]. In a large tent, 
with a rough-looking altar before him, Father Mullen 
offered up the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, with nothing 
under his feet but the bare ground. * * * After 
Mass, he preached a sermon and when he repeated the 
words : 'Behold, I bring you glad tidings of great joy !' I 
could, as it were, hear the choir of St. John's singing that 
beautiful psalm. * * * Ours was the only tent on 
the island that was trimmed. We got a few bushes and 
tied them up on the outside and inside of the tent. Some 
of the boys in the company got up a dinner which was, 
indeed, excellent. They bought some potatoes, cabbage, 
and some preserved turkey — an article which is put up 
in cans. After they had the table 'set,' they invited us 
up to their tent and we certainly had a good dinner ; but 
how different from the Christmas dinners at home !" 

On Dec. 31, the troops were again reviewed by Gen. 
Phelps. The line was once more formed under the 
supervision of Col. Jones, and was made up as on the pre- 
vious occasion, viz : The Twenty-sixth Massachusetts 
on the right, the Ninth Connecticut on the left and the 
battery in the centre. The column was in heavy march- 
ing order and moved forward in review at 9.30 a. m. The 
march was about a mile and a half in length, through the 
soft sand. Inspection followed, and was concluded about 
11.30 a. m., when the Ninth, and the other commands, 
were dismissed to their quarters. The officers of the 
Ninth Connecticut and Twenty-sixth Massachusetts, and 
many of the men, went to a point near Gen. Phelps' head- 



JVAJi OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1865. 67 

quarters, on the afternoon of Jan. 14, 1862, to witness tar- 
get practice by the Massachusetts- Light Battery. The 
target was the wreck of the EngUsh ship Elisabeth Bibby, 
already mentioned, located about a mile and a half away. 
Gen. Phelps was an interested spectator of the shooting. 
The battery fired seventeen rounds of spherical case shot. 
Seven of these struck the wreck, the remainder going 
very close. The result was quite satisfactor}^, as this was 
the battery's first attempt in that line. 

Day by day, events of interest were transpiring. Ships 
were arriving from the North with horses, supplies or 
munitions, captured vessels were being brought in and 
other incidents were taking place. During the week of 
Jan. 22, 1862, a bakery was established on the island, and 
the men were treated to fresh bread. Some excitement 
was caused among the Ninth, and other troops, in the 
forenoon of Jan. 23, by the appearance, about four miles 
off shore, of the Confederate gunboat Crescent. She was 
under a flag of truce and had come from New Orleans. 
She was met by the Union gunboat Water Witch and 
escorted to the U. S. flagship Niagara. The beach was 
lined with men of the Ninth, and their comrades of the 
other commands, who watched every movement of the 
rebel craft. About 2 p. m., the latter departed. It was 
stated that her object in coming was to demand the re- 
turn of a captured vessel brought in a couple of days be- 
fore. The demand was, of course, refused. On Feb. i, 
1862, the George Green sailed from Ship Island for Bos- 
ton, Mass. She had on board some members of the 
Ninth who had been discharged on account of disability, 
and also some men of the Massachusetts organizations, 
discharged for like reason. 

Corporal Peabody of the Massachusetts battery, writes, 
under date of Feb. 2, 1862: "Sunday. Pleasant weather 
to-day. * * * At 10 o'clock, 51 of our men mounted 
and, under command of Lieut. Henry Davidson, left 
camp on a ride to the timber. Unfortunately, none of 



68 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

US being horsemen, we had a hard time managing our 
horses, especially when passing the Ninth Connecticut, 
which being drawn up in line on the parade in front of 
their camp, were being drilled in firing by regiment, 
blank cartridges being used. This firing greatly fright- 
ened our horses. A general stampede ensued, the ani- 
mals flying in all directions. Many of our men were 
thrown into the sand and left there to return to camp on 
foot. I managed to hang on to my horse and got into 
camp at noon without having to walk." 

The Ninth had now been on the island two months, 
and various reports began to circulate among the troops. 
One was to the effect that the projected expedition 
against New Orleans had been abandoned, and that the 
troops would be sent to Fortress Monroe. Another re- 
port had it that there were but twenty days' rations left 
on the island, and so the stories went on, being asserted, 
doubted and contradicted. On Saturday forenoon, Feb. 
8, the English steamer Labuaii, which had been captured 
near the mouth of the Rio Grande river, by the U. S. S. 
PlyiiionfJi, was brought in by a prize crew'. The U. S. 
transport Constitution, which had long been expected on 
her return trip from Boston, appeared off the island on 
the forenoon of Feb. 12, and created the wildest enthu- 
siasm. The men from Connecticut vied with those from 
Massachusetts as to whom would be the first to reach the 
beach to welcome her. When within a couple of miles 
of the island, she hove to and fired a gun "which found 
an echo in the throat of every man on the beach." 

The Conslitution had on board the Twelfth Maine In- 
fantry ; the Eastern Bay State regiment, and three com- 
panies of Massachusetts unattached cavalry, the whole 
force — 2,400 — men being under the command of Col. 
Shepley. In the afternoon, the troops landed and went 
into camp. Washington's birthday anniversary, Feb. 22, 
1862, was observed on the island by an artillery salute of 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 69 

34 guns. The Ninth paraded in front of its camp, the 
band playing "The Star Spangled Banner" and other pa- 
triotic airs. Similar exercises were held by the other or- 
ganizations present. 

An incident of considerable interest occurred while the 
Ninth was aboard the Constitution, in Dec, 1861, en route 
to Ship Island. When the regiment arrived at Lowell, 
from New Haven, it was found that a large number of 
boys had followed the regiment from home. They were 
all sent back, at least it was then so thought. But some 
time after leaving Fortress Monroe, it was reported to 
Gen. Phelps that there were stowaways aboard. They 
were all located, and when questioned gravely declared 
they belonged to the Ninth. The oldest of the boys was 
but fourteen years of age. The report was brought into 
the cabin, and Gen. Phelps, turning to Col. Cahill, said: 

"Colonel, these boys say they belong to the Ninth Con- 
necticut !" 

Col. Cahill proposed that the General and himself go 
out on deck and interrogate the youths themselves. They 
did so. The boys were called up, one at a time. The first 
boy said that he was fourteen years old, and that he was 
born in Randolph, Vt. When he told Gen. Phelps his 
name the General said, with a smile : 

"Colonel, that is enough!" 

The boy was a son of Gen. Phelps' next door neighbor 
in Randolph. The boys were mustered into the service 
and some of them were added to the boys of the Ninth's 
drum corps. Others were assigned to other organiza- 
tions aboard. The drummer boys of the Ninth were a 
brave set, and never faltered wherever called. They were 
greatly admired by the little bootblacks and newsboys of 
New Orleans. 

The regular monthly review and inspection was held 
on Ship Island, Feb. 28, the line being formed at 9 a. m., 
and in the following" order : 



70 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Twenty-sixth Massachusetts Infantry, Col. Edward F. 
Jones. 

Fourth Massachusetts Light Batten,-, Capt. Chas. H. 
Manning". 

First Co., Massachusetts Unattached Cavalry, Capt. 
S. Tyler Reed. 

Second Co., Massachusetts Unattached Cavalry, Capt. 
James Magee. 

Third Co., Massachusetts Unattached Cavalry, Capt. 
H. A. Durivage. 

Eastern Bay State Regiment, Acting Col. Jonas H. 
French. 

Twelfth Maine Infantry, Col. George F. Shepley. 

Ninth Connecticut Infantrv', Col. Thomas W. Cahill. 



The line wheeled into column by companies, at 9.30, 
and passed in review before Gen. Phelps and staff, who 
occupied the familiar sand knoll. The march through 
the sand was, as usual, very tedious, but the men ac- 
quitted themselves handsomely. The inspection by Gen. 
Phelps was very thorough, and the line was dismissed at 
noon. 

Regimental Order No. 13, dated Feb. 24, 1862, refer- 
ring to Co. K of the Ninth says : " * * * Lieut. 
John Carroll of Co. F of this regiment, is hereby assigned 
to the command of said Co. K until further orders, and 
Lieut. Charles S. Palmer of Co. I, heretofore in command 
of said Co. K, having been promoted by order of General 
Phelps, commanding U. S. forces on Ship Island, by 
Brigade Order No. 27, to the post of Acting Asst.-Quar- 
termaster of this Post — will, therefore, on receipt of this 
order turn over to Lieut. John Carroll such property as 
may be in his possession, belonging to said Co. K." 

The Twelfth Connecticut regiment, Col. Henry C. 
Deming, arrived on Ship Island, March 8 per steamer 
Fulton, together with six companies of the Thirteenth 
Maine, Lieut.-Col. Henry Rust. The force aggregated 



IV A J? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 71 

1,600 men and was commanded by Col. Deming. Also 
arrived this day, the ship North America, with the Four- 
teenth Maine, Col. Frank S. Nickerson. In the after- 
noon of March 8, an expedition of 100 men from the 
Twenty-sixth Massachusetts, under Col. Jones, em- 
barked on the steamer Ca/AoMw forMississippi City, located 
on the mainland about ten miles away. The object of 
the expedition was to learn the strength of the enemy and 
to ascertain if a lodgment could be made so that a new 
camp could be established there. On reaching Missis- 
sippi City, Col. Jones marched inland a few miles, had an 
engagement and was forced to retreat, having one man 
wounded. The expedition arrived back at Ship Island 
at II p. m. The ship Idaho arrived from Boston March 
9, 1862, having on board four light batteries, viz: the 
First Vermont, Second Verm.ont, First Maine and Sixth 
Massachusetts — about 550 men in all. 

The camp of the Ninth was not without a little humor, 
now and then. A member of the regiment tells about 
an incident of this character. He says : "There was big 
Dennis and his educated pig. The latter was of a stray, 
wild breed, with stripes, and had been captured on the 
island. Dennis named the pig 'JefT Davis," taught him 
to stand on his hind legs, hold a pipe and perform various 
other evolutions. The pig became quite a pet in camp. 
Gen. Phelps on going his rounds one day, noticed Den- 
nis and the pig, and was invited to witness a 'review.' 
The General laughingly consented, and Dennis pro- 
ceeded to put 'Jefif Davis' through a regular 'drill' with 
pipe and stick. Gen. Phelps was heartily amused by the 
performance. The pig went with Dennis to New Or- 
leans and from thence was sent to New Haven by ex- 
press." 

In Regimental Order No. 14, issued to the Ninth, 
March 16. 1862, it is stated that "Adjutant Alfred G.' 
Hall of this regiment has been appointed aide-de-camp 
and acting assistant adjutant-general on the Brigade 



72 



NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY 



stafif, by Brig-ade Order No. 35. In consequence of the 
above appointment, Patrick T. Claffee is hereby ap- 
pointed acting-adjutant, subject to the confirmation of 
His Excellency, the Governor of the State of Connecti- 
cut, and will be obeyed and respected accordingly." 

St. Patrick's Day, 1862, was appropriately celebrated 
by the Ninth. The regiment was excused by Gen. But- 
ler from routine duty that day, and made the occasion 
one of festivity in camp. 

Troops continued to come. Brig.-Gen. Thomas Wil- 
liams and staff arrived off the island on the afternoon of 
March 12, on the Constitution, together with three regi- 
ments — the Sixth Michigan Infantry, Twenty-first In- 
diana and Fourth Wisconsin. They landed next day. 
March 20, the Mississippi arrived, having on board 
Major-Gen. Benjamin F. Butler and family, who had 
been taken on board at Fortress Monroe. The Missis- 
sippi also brought the Thirty-first Massachusetts and four 
companies of the Thirteenth Maine. Gen. Butler landed 
on the island, March 23, and was given an artillery salute 
of thirteen guns from the fort. On March 29, he issued 
General Order No. 8, covering the embarkation of troops 
for a movement against New Orleans. The troops 
selected included the Ninth Connecticut, and numbered 
about 6,000 men — comprising the brigades of Gen. 
Phelps and Gen. Williams. All preparations were made 
and many of the troops w^ere embarked, wdien orders 
were received countermanding the embarkation, and or- 
dering the troops already on board ship to return to the 
island. The reason for this, it was stated, was that 
"Farragut had as yet been unable to get his large ships 
over the bar at South West Pass." 

Gen. Butler's staff at Ship Island comprised the fol- 
lowing: Major George C. Strong, assistant adjutant- 
general, ordnance oiBcer, and chief of staff ; Capt. Jonas 
H. French, aide-de-camp, and inspector general ; Capt. 
Peter Haggerty, aide-de-camp ; Capt. George A. Kensel,

volunteer A. D. G. ; Second Lieut. H. E. Glark, volun- 
teer A. D. G. 

And now an event of unusual importance took place. 
On the forenoon of April i, 1862, the gunboat New Lon- 
don brought to Ship Island a small schooner, captured 
near Biloxi, Miss. In addition to the crew, there had 
been on the schooner, previous to capture, a married 
couple with their child, the latter being about five years 
of age, traveling from Mobile to New Orleans. Upon 
the appearance of the Yankee gunboat the parents be- 
came frightened, abandoned the child and escaped in a 
small boat. Gapt. Reed of the Nciv London brought the 
child to Ship Island and gave her in charge of Gen. But- 
ler. The next morning. Major Strong, Gaptains French 
and R. S. Davis, and Lieutenants Turnbull and Kinsman 
of Gen. Butler's stafif, Gapt. Gonant of Go. G, Thirty- 
first Massachusetts, and others, with the little girl, em- 
barked in a sloop and, under a flag of truce, left for 
Biloxi, to place the child in the hands of the authorities 
there, intending to have them return her to her parents. 
The sloop reached Biloxi, the child was placed in safe 
hands and the Union party had returned to the sloop and 
started for Ship Island. On the way out of Biloxi, the 
sloop grounded on a sand bar, whereupon the enemy, 
disregarding the flag of truce, fired upon her. 

This conduct of the rebels so angered Gen. Butler, 
that the Ninth Gonnecticut regiment, and the Sixth 



74 



NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 



Massachusetts battery, were at once ordered to Biloxi to 
punish the foe. The men embarked on the Henry Lewis 
and started at 3.45 p. m., April 2, accompanied by the 
Nezu London and the /. P. Jackson. Among those going 
with the expedition were Major Strong, of Gen. Butler's 
stafif, and a number of other officers volunteering for the 
expedition. Col. Cahill had command of the Ninth, and 
the orders were to burn the town if an apology were not 
promptly forthcoming. The Third Mississippi regiment, 
(Confederate), had been occupying Biloxi, but had fallen 
back some miles into the country. The Federal landing 
was, therefore, unopposed save by a single bloodthirsty 
individual. The inhabitants of the place lined the beach, 
as the Yankees approached, "and one wild son of Missis- 
sippi stood on the wharf, rifle in hand, defying the troops 
to come on shore." He soon consented to retreat, how- 
ever, and was later captured. Col. Cahill took posses- 
sion of the town. The mayor had disappeared, but in a 
short time he was captured and brought in. He proved 
that he was not responsible for the firing on the Yankee 
sloop, and that the authors of the outrage were stragglers 
over whom he had no control. So the town was spared. 
Soon after our troops landed at Biloxi, writes Lieut, 
(afterwards Capt. and Lieut. -Col.) Healy of the Ninth, 
a guard was "sent to the residence of the mayor for 
the purpose of bringing him to headquarters to apologize 
for the firing on the flag of truce. The officer in charge 
of the guard, Capt. Wright of Co. G (of the Ninth), was 
instructed that if he could not find the mayor, he was to 
bring a member of the latter's family, as hostage, and to 
leave word for him to come after, inside of one hour, or 
we would bring the captured member of the family to 
Ship Island. Capt. Wright and the guard started out, 
but could not find the mayor. So they brought in the 
latter's wife. In less than a hour, the mayor made his 
appearance and was taken to headquarters." 



^VAU OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1865. 75 

The inhabitants were a poverty-stricken, wretched lot 
of people and drew exclamations of pity, even from the 
soldiers. The troops established themselves in the cen- 
ter of the town, pickets were thrown out, an attack pre- 
pared for, but none came. 

It was soon rumored that a force of the enemy, 1,800 
strong, was at Pass Christian, twenty miles to the west- 
ward. A conference between Col. Cahill and Major 
Strong was held, to consider the situation, and it was de- 
cided to sail down and attack the place. They had no 
orders from Gen. Butler to do this, but relied upon the 
success they were confident they would achieve, to justify 
them in the course. Accordingly on the evening of 
April 3, the Ninth and the rest of the troops re-em- 
barked on the Henry Lezvis, which was armed with two 
three-inch Sawyer guns in her bow. That night, she 
anchored oflf Mississippi City. About 4 a. m., April 4, 
while the Lewis was still at anchor, the three rebel gun- 
boats Pamlico, Oregon and Carondelet, having stolen down 
in the darkness, made a furious attack upon her. At the 
time the attack opened. Col. Cahill of the Ninth was 
aboard one of the Federal gunboats arranging a plan for 
the contemplated movement against Pass Christian. He 
was advised to hurry to the Henry Lezvis and "run her 
into shoal water so that when she sunk, the men could 
get ashore. He started at once, and returned in an open 
boat through the midst of the fire. A rebel gunboat 
was plying savagely, with shot and shell, the crowded 
transport. Several shots took effect. One passed 
through the wheelhouse ; one crashed through the cabin, 
turning Father Mullen, the chaplain, suddenly out of his 
berth. * * * " Such is a description of the engage- 
ment, given by the Crofifut-Morris volume, which thus 
continues : As soon as Col. Cahill "was within hailing 
distance, he shouted to his men to fire ; and the saucy 
little pieces instantly replied to the enemy's guns. The 



76 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

rebel was now near and broadside to. The officers of the 
Ninth superintended the firing." One shot shattered a 
rebel pilot-house ; "another cut the tiller rope. The 
Lewis had all steam on and was backing towards shore. 
Soon the overmatched rebel gunboats made off. rapidly 
pursued by our own." 

Another account of the fight states that the rebel gun- 
boats had "stolen down Lake Borgne in the darkness, to 
within cannon-shot of our little fleet. The Henry Lewis 
received the first fire of the enemy, the Carondelet sending 
a ten-inch shot, (120-pounder), through the cabin, which 
smashed things generally, and another shot carried away 
her wheelhouse. The rough treatment the Lczvis was 
receiving, for a few moments threw the Ninth Connecti- 
cut regiment and Everett's battery into much confusion, 
but soon the battery got their little guns at work 
and returned shot for shot. At the time the Carondelet 
pitched into the Lczvis, the Pamlico and Oregon attacked 
the Nciv London and Jackson [gunboats]. At 4.30 (a. m.), 
our gunboats having succeeded in getting under way, 
opened fire and moved toward the enemy. * '■' * 
Capt. Reed of the Nezv London, with the same reckless 
daring he always exhibits in action, pushed his little ves- 
sel into the thickest of the fight in an attempt to bring 
the Carondelet to close quarters ; but his attempts in this 
direction were all defeated, the enemy continuing to re- 
treat up the lake, fighting at long range until 6 a. m., 
when they withdrew from the conflict and steamed away 
toward New Orleans." During the fight, besides the 
damage to the Henry Lczvis, the Nezv London was struck 
in the cutwater, and Capt. Conant, of the Thirty-first 
Massachusetts, who was aboard the Lczvis, was slightly 
wounded. Corporal Peabody of the Fourth Massachu- 
setts Light Battery thus describes the interest displayed 
at Ship Island while the foregoing engagement was in 
progress : 



IVAI^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1S63. 77 

"April 4, Friday. With the first streak of day, our 
company was aroused by the sound of heavy firing. 
Turning out, the boys rushed to the outside of the fort, 
and then we learned the cause of the disturbance. Away 
in the direction of Biloxi, we saw a succession of bright 
flashes, to be soon followed by the report of heavy guns, 
which revealed to us the fact that our gunboats were en- 
gaging those of the enemy. For a time, the fight seemed 
to be stationary, but, finally, a change in the direction of 
the flashes, indicated that the vessels were under way 
and appeared to be falling back. At this juncture, 4.30 
a. m.. Commander Homer C. Blake, of the gunboat 
Hatteras, slipping the anchor, dashed away under a full 
head of steam, to aid in the fight. For over an 
hour more the fight went on, the heavy guns on both 
sides belching out every minute. * * '^ It was a big 
audience that witnessed this little fight, nearly every sol- 
dier on the island being collected around the fort and 
along the beach." 

One of the Ninth's officers states that after leaving 
Biloxi for Pass Christian "everything went on well 
until about 4 o'clock the next morning, when three 
rebel gunboats were seen coming toward us. The 
Captain and myself occupied one of the staterooms. 
I was awakened by hearing someone say that there 
were three rebel boats coming after us. I got out, 
went into the cabin, returned to my stateroom, and just 
as I was putting on my coat a shell from the enemy 
struck our boat. It went through the cabin and knocked 
a hole in the room we were in. But, thanks be to God, 
we were not injured ! Then the excitement commenced. 
The New London and Jackson fired away at the rebel 
boats and they fired at us." A shot from the Nczv London 
"knocked the wheelhouse off one of the rebel boats, tak- 
ing the two legs from the pilot." An examination was 
then made to ascertain how many were injured on the 



78 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Henry Lewis. It was found that only a few were hurt 
and they sHghtly. "One of the oflQcers present (Capt. 
Conant), received a sHght wound in the leg. Two of the 
Ninth's band were slightly wounded. Michael McDon- 
ough of our company (C of the Ninth), received a slight 
wound on the cheek, occasioned by part of a shell that 
had burst. The piece hit him hard enough to draw 
blood. I never saw men like those of the gallant Ninth ! 
It was as much as the officers could do to keep them in a 
safe place. I saw some of them coolly lighting their pipes 
and smoking while the enemy was firing. They were as 
cool as cucumbers."

CHAPTER VI. 

THE FIGHT AT PASS CHRISTIAN — THE NINTH LANDS AND 
MARCHES THROUGH THE PLACE — MEETS A CONFED- 
ERATE FORCE BEYOND — GALLANT CHARGE BY THE 

MEN FROM CONNECTICUT CAPTURE OF THE FLAG OF 

THE THIRD MISSISSIPPI — WARM COMMENDATION 
FROM GEN. BUTLER — THE START FROM NEW ORLEANS. 

SOME hours after the close of the engagement with 
the rebel gunboats, preparations were completed 
for the attack on the enemy at Pass Christian. The 
Federal squadron had, in the meantime, been increased 
by the arrival of the gunboat Hatteras. 

About 10 or II a. m., the same day, April 4, 1862, the 
squadron moved up toward the wharf at the place men- 
tioned. It was expected that the landing would be con- 
tested, as a report had been received that the rebels had 
a regiment of infantry, two companies of cavalry and a 
battery of artillery in the place. Before the Ninth, and 
Everett's battery, landed, therefore, the gunboats threw 
a few shells into the woods and into some of the principal 
buildings. The troops then went ashore and finding no 
rebel force, immediately went in search of the latter. 

"Col. Cahill of the Ninth, and Major Strong of Gen. 
Butler's stafT, with four companies of the Ninth, went out 
on the main road in rear of two companies of the Ninth, 
deployed as skirmishers, and commanded by Capt. 
French of Butler's stafif. Lieut.-Col. Fitz Gibbon and 
Major Frye, each with two companies of the Ninth, de- 
ployed to the right and left of the road. In this order, 
the line moved forward for two miles, when the enemy, 
comprising several companies of the Third Mississippi 
infantry, Brown's battery and Norman's cavalry — the 
whole force commanded by Lieut.-Col. Mellen of the 



8o NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Third — were found drawn up in line of battle. A sharp 
fight ensued in which the rebels were beaten and driven 
to Camp Sugo^ville, which our troops captured, together 
with the fine silk flag of the regiment. In this fight, Pri- 
vate John Leonard, Co. A, of the Ninth Connecticut, was 
wounded and the only man hurt. He was struck in 
the left arm, below the elbow. After this engagement, 
our troops returned to Pass Christian and camped there 
until the next morning, Nov. ^^ * * * This morn- 
ing (Nov. 5) the boys of the Ninth and of Everett's 
Massachusetts battery are feeling jubilant over the fight 
of yesterday, and well they may. * * * " 

Another account states that the Third Mississippi 
"Kept up a constant fusilade as the Ninth advanced ; but 
the latter fired one volley, and charged with an Irish 
*Y-a-a-a-a-ah !' " when the defenders of the soil broke and 
ran to the woods. The victors scattered themselves 
through the comfortable camp, and made themselves at 
home. Capt. Lawrence O'Brien, (then a lieutenant), 
found in the commander's tent this dispatch to Gen. 
Lovell, (Confederate), at New Orleans : 'The Federals 
are landing in force. I shall defend the place. Have 
eight hundred infantry, two companies of cavalry, and 
two batteries." The ink was not dry when he was re- 
treating, demoralized, in the direction of a force that had 
gone to recapture Biloxi. 

"The camp was well provided and amply furnished ; the 
officers' quarters even possessing a piano. They aban- 
doned tents and equipage, arms and ammunition, food 
and everything else ; and the Ninth loaded the transport 
with as much as they could carry back to the island. 
Next morning, they embarked ; and, before leaving, a 
committee came down and expressed the thanks of the 
citizens for the good conduct of the soldiers during the 
night. The regiment returned to the island in high 
spirits, bearing among their trophies sundry wrought- 
iron bowie k-nives (one of them marked 'Yankee exter- 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 81 

minator') and a beautiful silk flag (of the Third Missis- 
sippi), carried oflf in spite of the tearful protestations of 
the fair rebels who made it." 

Col. John G. Healy, of New Haven, then a lieutenant 
in the Ninth, wrote the following little sketch of the Pass 
Christian affair shortly after : "A white flag was hung 
out of one house, but we took no notice of it, as it was 
not in the proper place. We started to go up to the dock, 
but went aground instead, so that the troops had to be 
landed in small boats. The first companies landed were 
sent out as skirmishers and on picket duty. As we landed 
before the color company, the Colonel ordered our com- 
pany to take charge of the colors until the landing of that 
company. The Ninth formed in the principal street and 
awaited further orders. We very soon received informa- 
tion that the rebels were encamped within six miles of 
us. We procured a guide and started to meet them. We 
had marched some time when the pickets discovered 
them coming to meet us. We went on but a short dis- 
tance further, when they fired a shell at us, but it did no 
damage. They had fired a few more shells, when our 
artillery came up and replied." The enemy soon fell back 
to a bridge where they intended to make a stand, but, as 
the same officer continues, "we soon routed them again, 
firing as we advanced. They attempted to destroy the 
bridge, but we were too close upon them. We fixed the 
bridge so that the artillery could pass, and then went on. 
Just before we had come to the bridge, one of our skir- 
mishers came in and informed us that the rebels had a 
masked battery a short distance from the left of our com- 
pany. At this time the company was in the woods in 
support of the skirmishers. I went to the main body of 
the regiment and informed Major Strong of what I had 
heard. He gave orders for us to charge the battery and 
capture it. I transmitted the order to the Captain and 
he immediately commanded: 'Double quick!' and you 
may well say it was quick. I never saw men rush for-

ward so in my life. But we were disappointed, for on 
reaching- the place where we supposed the battery to be 
located, we found that it was only a kind of decoy. The 
rebels had felled some trees and put them together so 
that at a short distance away the structure looked as 
though constructed for a battery. We then marched by 
company front upon the camp of the rebels." In ac- 
cordance with orders, this was afterwards burned. 

Capt. Lawrence O'Brien, of New Haven, then a lieu- 
tenant, writing about the attack on the rebels at Pass 
Christian, says : "We were separated in columns of com- 
panies and attacked them from so many points that the 
enemy imagined we were a brigade. When we were 
close upon them, they broke and fled in disorder, leaving 
all their camp equipage in our possession. In this 
charge, my company had to cross a bayou over which 
we all attempted to leap, but only a little more than half 
our number got over with dry feet. Capt. Patrick 
Garvey and some of the men were compelled tO' climb 
the bank, while I and the other members of our company, 
who had cleared the stream, were in advance. Capt. 
Garvey shouted to me : 'Keep them at it !' So we rushed 
on and were the first to reach the rebel camp. I rushed 
to the deserted headquarters, and upon a table found the 
following dispatch: [See foregoing]. * * * j gave 
this dispatch to Col. Cahill in presence of Dr. Charles A. 
Gallagher and our chaplain. Father Mullen. The Colonel 
delivered it to Major Strong, who reported it to Gen. 
Butler. While we were attacking the left wing of the 
enemy, Capt. William Wright charged on their right and 
captured a new flag which had been presented the Third 
Mississippi the day before. This was one of the first 
flags captured by the Union troops during the war, and 
was sent North to become one of the attractions at the 
big Sanitary Fair held in New York city. I never saw 
such enthusiasm as that displayed in this charge on the 
rebel camp, every offtcer and man endeavoring to distin- 



IVAJ? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 83 

guish himself. All the prizes we could not carry away 
from the captured place, we burned. * * * We secured 
a quantity of note paper at the post office, with Confed- 
erate printed headlines. This was sent to our friends in 
the North and prized by them as souvenirs. We returned 
to Ship Island loaded down with trophies of war. All 
the troops rushed down to the landing and gave us a 
most welcome reception back home to the island." 

Col. Cahill afterwards wrote concerning these events 
at Biloxi and Pass Christian : "While at this place, 
[Biloxi], we received reliable information that the enemy 
were encamped in some force, (two regiments, a battery 
and two companies of cavalry), at Pass Christian, some 
twenty miles distant. * * * Accordingly, on the 
night of the second day, we left Biloxi, and with the gun- 
boats \Nczv London and Jackson], sailed down the sound. 
A storm came up suddenly, and it being impossible to 
navigate in those waters, having no good pilots, we were 
obliged to come to anchor below Mississippi City, where, 
at an hour before daylight the next morning we were 
attacked by three rebel gunboats, the Pamlico, Oregon, 
and Carondclet, bringing eleven heavy guns into action. 
The Nczv London and Jackson, however, came gallantly 
up to their work. * * * The anchors of the Lewis 
had got fouled in some way, and we experienced great 
difficulty in getting under way, being all the time under 
a very heavy fire. Accompanying us were twO' guns of 
the Sixth Massachusetts battery, — 3-inch steel rifles — 
with which we kept up a rapid and accurate fire, damag- 
ing the enemy considerably. 

"The enemy finding he was getting the worst of the 
fight, made for the shoals ofif Cat Island, where our gun- 
boats could not follow, and escaped. All this occupied 
considerable time, and it was late in the afternoon before 
we could land the men and the two small guns. We got 
them all ashore by 6 p. m., and immediately moved on the 
enemy, whom we ascertained to be about three or four 



84 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

miles from the landing. We found the enemy advancing 
in column, with artillery in front. We received the fire 
from his two pieces of artillery. I ordered a charge, and 
the enemy broke, and ran for a bridge across a creek in 
his rear, tearing up the bridge. After a short delay, we 
crossed and followed in pursuit, but being obliged to drag 
our guns by hand, we could not overtake him. We fol- 
lowed him to his camp, and destroyed and carried away 
all his camp and garrison equipage, remaining on the 
ground until 9 p. m.'' 

In view of the results attained. Gen. Butler issued the 
following : 

Headquarters, Department of the Gulf, 
April 12, 1862. 
General Orders No. 10. 

The Major-General commanding desires publicly to 
testify his appreciation of the gallant courage and good 
conduct of the Ninth Connecticut Volunteers, Colonel 
Cahill commanding, and a section of the Sixth Massa- 
chusetts Battery, on a recent expedition to Biloxi and 
Pass Christian * * * 

Of their bravery in the field he felt assured, but another 
quality, more trying to the soldier, claims his admiration. 
After having been for months subjected to the privations 
necessarily incident to camp life upon this island, these 
well-disciplined soldiers, although for many hours in full 
possession of two rebel villages filled with what to them 
were most desirable luxuries, abstained from the least 
unauthorized interference with private property and all 
molestation of peaceful citizens. This behavior is worthy 
of all praise * * * _ 

The General commanding commends the action of the 
men of this expedition to every soldier in this department. 
Let it be imitated by all in the towns and cities we shall 
occupy, a living witness that the United States soldier 
fights only for the Union, the Constitution, and the en- 
forcement of the laws. 

By command of Maj.-Gen. Butler, 

George C. Strong, A. A. General. 

In its issue of April 30, 1862, the New Haven Palladium 
notes the fact that : "A member of the Ninth Connecti- 



IV A R OF THE REBELLION, 1 861-1863. 85 

cut regiment, writing home to his wife, mentions that 
after the rout of the rebels at Pass Christian, a party [of 
the Ninth] proceeded to a small house to ascertain if 
refreshments of some kind could be obtained. At the 
house they recognized a woman there as an old acquaint- 
ance, who formerly resided in New Haven. The family 
were utterly destitute, and all [the men] could obtain 
was a drink of buttermilk. They paid her ten cents 
apiece for the buttermilk, and then distributed the 
crackers in their knapsacks to the children." 

In a letter to Col. Cahill, in 1862, after the events at 
Biloxi and Pass Christian, Governor Buckingham of 
Connecticut, wrote : "It is hardly necessary for me to 
say that the conduct of your men meets my cordial ap- 
proval, and I am proud of both officers and their com- 
mand." 

A circular issued to the Ninth, April 10, 1862, by the 
Colonel, states that "Sergeant Walter Maloney, of Co. A, 
and Sergeant Patrick Ingoldsby, of Co. C, are appointed 
color sergeants of this regiment, and will be exempt from 
all guard duty." 

On April 10, 1862, Col. Cahill issued Regimental Order 
No. 20, from the camp of the Ninth on Ship Island. The 
order provided as follows :

IV A R OF THE REBELLION, i86i-i86j 87 

Gen. Butler tells of an amusing incident that happened 
while the Ninth was on Ship Island. He says, in sub- 
stance, that one day a detail from the regiment was sent 
to the upper portion of the island to relieve a party from 
the Twenty-sixth Massachusetts, which was engaged 
cutting wood. It was foggy when they came to the place 
of meeting, and as the two bodies of men approached 
each other the first thought was that they must be Con- 
federates, each party seeming so to the other. Both 
began to get ready for a fight, when a quick-witted Irish- 
man of the Ninth exclaimed : 

"Be me soul, Captain, I believe that these are the 
Twenty-sixth's boys. Let me find out; I will give the 
countersign !*' 

"The countersign?" exclaimed the officer, "What 
countersign have you?" 

"Oh, aisy, Captain !" and he stepped forth and cried 
out: "Connecticut over the fence!" 

The men on both sides broke out into roars of laughter, 
and all danger of a collision was averted. 

On the morning of April 9, 1862, Gen. Butler had 
issued orders for a grand review that day, of all the 
troops on the island. The review ground was located 
about two and a half miles from the fort, and "east of the 
line of camps of the army." Gen. Butler and stafif occu- 
pied a knoll in front of the centre of the line. At 2 p. m. 
the troops began moving forward in review. The line 
was made up as follows, the Ninth having the place of 
honor : 

FIRST BRIGADE. 

Brig.-Gen. John W. Phelps. 

Ninth Connecticut, Col. Thomas W. Cahill, 
Twelfth Connecticut, Col. Henry C. Deming. 
Eighth New Hampshire, Col. Hawkes Fearing, Jr. 
Fourth Massachusetts Battery, Capt. Charles H. Man- 
ning.

Durivage. 

SECOND BRIGADE. 

Brig. -Gen. Thomas Williams. 

Twenty-first Indiana, Col. James W. McMillan. 
Twenty-sixth Massachusetts, Col. Edward F. Jones. 
Thirty-first Massachusetts, Col. Oliver P. Gooding.

Sixth Massachusetts Battery, Capt. Charles Everett. 
Second Company Massachusetts Cavalry, Capt. James 
Magee. 

THIRD BRIGADE. 

Col. George F. Shepley (Twelfth Maine) Com- 
manding. 

Twelfth Maine, Lieut.-Col. W. K. Kimball. 
Thirteenth Maine, Col. Neal Dow. 
Fourteenth Maine, Col. F. S. Nickerson. 
Fifteenth Maine, Col. J. McClusky. 
Thirtieth Massachusetts, Col. N. A. M. Dudley. 
First Maine Light Battery, Capt. E. P. Thompson. 
First Company Massachusetts Cavalry, Capt. S. Tyler 
Reed. 

The whole force, including parts of the Seventh and 
Eighth Vermont regiments, numbered about 12,000 men. 
The review was an unqualified success, and was over at 
4 p. m. This review was considered by the men to indi- 
cate that an important movement of some kind was about 
to take place, and so it proved. 

Gen. Butler issued, on April 10, 1862, "General Orders 
No. 9," providing for the embarkation of troops, for the 
movement against New Orleans. They were to embark 
the next day, in the following order: 



IVAJ? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1865. 89 

On board ship Great Republic: the Twenty-first 
Indiana, Fourth Wisconsin, and Sixth Michigan, regi- 
ments. 

On board steamer Mississippi: Twenty-sixth and 
Tliirty-first Massachusetts regiments. Brown's Sappers 
and Miners and the Sixth Massachusetts battery. 

On steamer Matansas: the Ninth Connecticut regi- 
ment and the Second Vermont battery. 

On the North America: the Thirtieth Massachusetts 
regiment, Reed and Durivage's Massachusetts Cavalry, 
and the Fourth Massachusetts battery. 

On ship E. Wilder Farley: the Twelfth Connecticut 
regiment. 

Each regiment was ordered to "take three tents, and 
the detached companies of cavalry, artillery, and pioneers, 
one tent each. The remaining tents will be left standing. 
The troops will carry their camp kettles, mess pans, cups, 
plates, knives and forks, and each soldier his knapsack, 
overcoat, blanket, one extra shirt, one extra pair of 
drawers, one extra pair of shoes, canteens, and in his 
haversack four days' cooked rations. They will also take 
all the axes, hatchets, picks, shovels, and spades, they 
may have in possession. Officers' baggage will be lim- 
ited to bedding and one valise, bag or knapsack. No 
trunks in any case to be taken. The remaining baggage 
of officers and men will be properly secured, as compactly 
as possible, marked, and turned over to the division 
quartermaster. Captains of companies will be held re- 
sponsible that every soldier has in his cartridge box 40 
rounds of ammunition. The troops will be inspected at 
6 p. m., to-day, to see that this order has been complied 
with, as far as may be necessary at that hour, to insure 
promptness in the embarkation to-morrow. One non- 
commissioned officer for each regiment will be left behind 
to turn over the baggage, tents, etc., to the chief quarter- 
master." 

The next day, April 11, a storm prevailed, and the 



9° 



NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL INFANTRY. 



troops did not embark. They did begin embarking, how- 
ever, on Tuesday morning, April 15. "All our boys," 
writes a participant, "seem much pleased at the prospect 
of a change of scene, and active service. Still, sweet mem- 
ories of the island, so barren and desolate, and our home 
for 132 days, will ever remain with us. Since the first 
troops landed on this island, Dec. 4, 1861, to April 9, last, 
fifty men have died, and are buried there." 

Shortly before the Ninth left Ship Island, Private 
Robert Walsh of Company E, was accidentally killed, 
being shot through the heart. He belonged in New 
Haven, and was a good soldier and comrade. His death 
was much regretted. The date of the fatality was April 
14, 1862. Private Martin Burke, of Company B, was 
injured at Ship Island in February, 1862. He was of 
Cheshire, Ct. He recovered from his injury and was 
mustered out Oct. 26, 1864, his term of service having 
expired. 

The embarkation of the troops was completed Wednes- 
day forenoon. The transport fleet hauled out at 4 p. m., 
and anchored two miles ofT shore to await the darkness, 
so that further movements would be covered. The troops 
aboard — 8,000 men — comprised the brigades of Generals 
Phelps and Williams. Quarters were provided aboard 
the Mississippi for Gen. Butler's family, and the steamer 
Saxon was headquarters ship for Butler and his stafif. 
Gen. Phelps and stafT had quarters aboard the Mataii:;as 
with the Ninth, while Gen. Williams and stafif were quar- 
tered aboard the Great Republic. The Third Brigade re- 
mained on tlie island. 

That night between 8 and 9 o'clock, the fleet weighed 
anchor and stood out to sea. The steamer Matanzas, with 
the Ninth aboard, was towing the E. Wilder Farley; the 
Mississippi had the North America in tow ; and the gun- 
boat /. P. Jackson had the Great Republic. The course 
taken was a little south of west.

CHAPTER VII. 

ARRIVAL OF THE NINTH AT THE SOUTH WEST PASS — 
UNDER FIRE AT THE ATTACK ON FORTS JACKSON AND 

ST. PHILIP — ENTERS THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS 

PROCEEDS, LATER, TO CAMP PARAPET, UP THE RIVER 
— LEAVES THERE FOR THE CITY OF BATON ROUGE, 
THE CAPITAL OF LOUISIANA — ENGLAND'S ENMITY TO 
THE UNION. 

THE trip of the Matanzas, with the Ninth on board, to 
the South West Pass, was devoid of special inci- 
dent. The steamer continued towing the E. Wilder Farley, 
on which was the Twelfth Connecticut. Thursday morn- 
ing, April 17, 1862, Opened clear and warm. Officers and 
men of the Ninth were early on deck. At intervals, ships 
of the Union blockading squadron were sighted, while 
the coast line could be dimly seen just above the horizon. 
As the Matanzas neared the Pass, the interest of those 
on board continued to increase. The gulf coast of Louisi- 
ana is not remarkable for attractiveness, but on this 
occasion every feature was noted with interest by the 
men aboard the ships. Arrived at the Pass, the Ninth had 
a view of the U. S. frigate Colorado, and the British 
frigate Rinaldo, anchored there. Entering the Missis- 
sippi, the great "Father of Waters," the Ninth beheld a 
desolate scene. The waters of the mighty river are of a 
yellowish hue which they assume after their confluence 
with the Missouri. This hue is caused by the mud 
brought down in such great volume that it tinges the 
fierce current of the river for several miles out into the 
Gulf. The bed of the Mississippi, near its mouth, is con- 
tinually changing in character, forming new bars that 
puzzle and menace the pilots. It was these bars that so 
retarded Farragut in getting his big ships into the river, 



92 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

and it was only after transferring the heavy batteries 
from the ships to lighters that he at length succeeded. 

Crowded conditions prevailed aboard the Matansas. 
Only 260 men could be accommodated below decks at a 
time and, therefore, the men had to sleep by reliefs, that 
is, a part at a time. On one occasion, the Matansas took 
the Great Republic in tow, the latter being helpless owing 
to the loss of her rudder. 

Sixty miles below New Orleans, then held by the rebels, 
and toward the month of the river, were Forts Jackson 
and St. Philip, strongly constructed and heavily armed by 
the Confederates, for the defence of the city. The rebels 
considered them impregnable, and believed they would 
prove an impassable barrier to any Union force attempt- 
ing to come up the river from below. But in this they 
were mistaken, as the result proved. Some twenty-two 
miles below the forts, just mentioned, were the heads of 
the five passes of the Mississippi through which access 
could be had to the gulf. These passes were the South 
West, the South, the South East, the North East and 
Pass a la Outre. The largest and most utilized of these 
was the South West. 

As the Ninth, aboard the steamer Matansas, proceeded 
up the river, by way of the South West Pass, the men 
gazed upon the neighboring shores. 

" Do you know of the dreary land. 

If land such region may seem. 
Where 'tis neither sea nor strand. 
Ocean, nor good, dry land. 

But the nightmare marsh of a dream? 
Where the Mighty River his death-road takes, 
'Mid pools and windings that coil like snakes, 
A hundred leagues of bayous and lakes. 

To die in the great Gulf Stream ?" 

Pilot Town, a cluster of houses, was noted about two 
miles from the mouth of the river, and elicited much com- 
ment. The houses were all built on piles to keep them 
clear of the river. Here resided gulf and river pilots, 



IV A R OF THE REBELLION, i86i-i86j. 93 

from whom the place derived its name. Nearby, stood a 
tower, 75 or 100 feet high, vised by the pilots for keeping 
a watch on the river and gulf in search of vessels needing 
their services. A naval hospital was also located at this 
point. Anchored near Pilot Town were the barque 
Almo and the gunboat Miami. The Ninth continued up 
the river toward the head of the passes already mentioned. 
Not long after, could be heard the boom of the heavy 
guns of Farragut's fleet, including the mortars of Porter's 
flotilla, in their bombardment of Forts Jackson and St. 
Philip. A member of the Ninth, writing, after the war, of 
this period, says : 

« * * * 'pj^g facts, I believe, are these: Gen. 
Phelps being on board the Matansas with the Ninth was 
extremely anxious to witness the bombardment of the 
forts and, pushing by Gen. Butler, moved up in their 
direction. Soon a solid shot came skipping across the 
bow of the Matansas. 

" 'Col. Cahill, what do you suppose they're firing for?' 
facetiously inquired the General. 

" *I don't know, sir !' replied the Colonel in the same 
vein. 

"'Nor I, either!' rejoined the General. 'Go on!' 

"Butler is reported to have been very much ofifended 
at this action, but Phelps witnessed the fighting and 
enjoyed it like the veteran soldier that he was." 

Capt. Lawrence O'Brien, of the Ninth, writes : "While 
we were on board the Matansas, the latter was employed 
in towing many of the sailing vessels close up to the 
fleet. Two of Porter's mortar schooners were taken in 
tow by us after they had been disabled by the guns of 
the forts. The Matanzas was twice under the fire of both 
forts, and while we were making fast to the disabled 
mortar schooners, shots from the forts passed clear over 
the deck of our steamer. A large heavy chain which had 
been stretched across the river between the forts was cut 
in two by sailors of the fleet, and on April 23 Farragut 



94 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

was all ready to run his fleet past the forts. As each vessel 
passed uSj we knew that the great and final effort was 
about to take place. Darkness came on, but there was 
no sleep for soldier or sailor that eventful night. A red 
light had been hoisted at the masthead of the Hartford, 
Farragut's flagship. The forts commenced firing after 
midnight, and continued for some time. We, of the 
Ninth, could see the answering flames of fire from the 
sides of our fleet, the whole making an almost continuous 
blaze of light. We knew when our friends were past the 
forts by the flash and noise from above. In the morning, 
we were ordered to sail with the transports around to the 
rear of Fort St. Philip, and one regiment, — the Twenty- 
sixth Massachusetts — reached the river bank above. We 
were preparing to attack the forts when the latter sur- 
rendered. * * * We were then ordered to return on 
board our vessels, and sailed up to New Orleans." 

So confident were the Confederates in the strength of 
the two forts that a New Orleans paper declared : "We 
have made such extensive preparations to receive them, 
[the Union forces], that it were vexatious if their invinci- 
ble armada escapes the fate we have in store for it." 
Farragut's force comprised 47 armed vessels. The 
mortar boats, under Porter, took the lead, and on April 
18, began the attack on Fort Jackson, and were sup- 
ported by the gunboats. The forts were not at first much 
affected by this attack, and it was decided to run by them 
on the night of the 23d. It was a perilous undertaking. 
The night was an intensely dark one, and at 2 o'clock in 
the morning the daring passage began, 

" Right abreast of the Fort 

In an awful shroud they lay. 

Broadsides thundering away. 
And lightning from every port; 

Scene of glory and dread ! 
A storm-cloud all aglow 

With flashes of fiery red, 
The thunder raging below. 

And the forest of flags overhead !" 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, i86i-i86j. 95 

In addition to the opposition of the forts, Farragut also 
had to contend with a Confederate naval force, but was 
victorious against every odd. While the movement was 
in progress, Butler landed his troops and got them 
around to the rear of Fort St. Philip, thus bringing about 
a prompt surrender of that stronghold. 

As soon as the news of the Confederate disaster 
reached New Orleans, a great panic ensued there. Peo- 
ple fled from the city, cotton was got ready to be set on 
fire, some $4,000,000 in specie was removed from the 
banks, and other steps hastily taken. Upon the approach, 
April 25, of Farragut, Gen. Lovell, the rebel com- 
mander, and his forces deserted the city, the torch was 
applied to cotton on the levee and 15,000 bales were 
burned; also a large number of steamers, uncompleted 
gunboats and other vessels. Farragut kept the city under 
the guns of his fleet until May i, when Gen. Butler took 
possession. The loss of New Orleans was a staggering 
blow to the rebels. Fort St. Philip had a record as a 
place of defence, previous to the construction of Fort 
Jackson. It was Fort St. Philip that, in the war of 
1812-15, held an English naval force at bay for over a 
V\^eek and at last obliged it to retire down the river. 

An exciting incident took place early on the morning 
of April 27. A spectator thus describes it : "At 3 a. m. 
everybody on board was aroused from his sleep, in a 
hurry, and rushed on deck to ascertain the cause. Look- 
ing up the river, we saw a large raft loaded with all sorts 
of combustible material coming down, whirling and 
twisting with the current. It had been sent down by the 
rebels and was only about three miles above us, and the 
glare sent up by this mass of burning stuff lighted up 
the surrounding country with the brightness of day. As 
it swept swiftly down, we could see that the raft was 
about 200 feet long by about 50 in width. It was piled 
high with what seemed to be pitch pine, and sent up 
smoke and flame to a height of about 40 feet. When the

raft was less than a mile from the line of gunboats, the 
Jackson slipped out and, under a full head of steam, 
dashed at the raft, striking it amidships and scattering 
the fire in all directions into the river. Lines were then 
hitched to the raft and, being towed to the west bank, it 
was grounded and allowed to burn itself out." 

Passing up the river toward New Orleans, a soldier thus 
records what he saw : "Some time after leaving Quaran- 
tine, the scenery on both banks of the river began to 
change. In place of low, swampy lands, beautiful planta- 
tions began to appear. We saw people working in the 
fields, riding in carriages on the roads behind the levee, 
beautiful villas nestling in groves of fine trees. * * * 
Some of the plantations that we passed seemed deserted, 
as nobody could be seen. At one plantation, we saw 
about 50 negroes at work on what seemed to be sugar 
cane. All hands, even the overseer, stopped in their work 
to gaze at the Yankees. At intervals we passed a house 
upon which the white flag appeared. Again, we would 
pass a house which displayed a small flag — the Stars and 
Stripes — at door or window. Whenever this happened, 
there was tremendous cheering on board. About 4 p. m. 
we were up with a fine plantation, located on the east 
bank. The owner's residence, a beautiful white house 
with broad verandas about it, and embowered in a fine 
grove of trees, was thrown open and the verandas were 
occupied by the family. As we passed it, we were greeted 
with handkerchief waving, and, suddenly, out of the front 
door, appeared the Stars and Stripes. Our troops yelled, 
their delight was so great at this incident." At Chalmette, 
some miles below New Orleans, the rebels had con- 
structed two batteries, one on each side of the river, but 
the guns of Farragut's ships easily knocked them to 
pieces. Another battery about a mile above Chalmette 
experienced a like fate. 

Upon taking possession of New Orleans, Gen. Butler 
established his headquarters at the St. Charles Hotel. 



WAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 97 

Nearby was posted the Sixth Massachusetts battery and 
other troops. The populace was in an ugly mood and 
soon after his arrival, Butler decided to parade a regiment 
through the city as an object lesson. He selected the 
Ninth Connecticut, then quartered at the Reading Cotton 
Press, for this purpose, an honor the regiment duly ap- 
preciated. The command made a fine showing, and the 
effect on the belligerent populace was a salutary one. 

While the Ninth was in New Orleans, at this time, Pri- 
vate Mark O'Neil, of Company D, while taking a walk 
in the city on the evening of May 4, 1862, was attacked 
and assassinated by thugs. He was in uniform at the 
time, and alone. When information of the murderous 
happening reached the quarters of the Ninth, the men of 
the latter became furious and evinced a desire to rush out 
and wreak vengeance for the loss of their comrade. They 
were finally quieted, however, by their officers. Private 
O'Neil belonged in New Haven and had enlisted Sept. 
2^, 1861. 

When Butler took possession of the city he was 
confronted by many serious difficulties. The populace 
was sullen and, though not openly hostile, found many 
ways in which to show their dislike for the new-comers. 
Butler, however, was fully equal to the situation, as he 
abundantly demonstrated. Among the Confederate or- 
ganizations in the city had been one known as the 
"Foreign Legion," which was promptly put out of ser- 
vice upon Butler's arrival. 

England's enmity to the Union was well known, hav- 
ing been frequently displayed during the war. The 
Crofifut-Morris work, speaking of the organization of the 
Thirteenth Connecticut, recalls that "England was just 
beginning to take sides with the Confederates ; so the 
mustering-officer, in addition to the usual oath, bound 
the men to serve 'against England or any foreign power 
that may wage war against us.' " 

In New Orleans at the time of Butler's advent was a 



98 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Confederate military company, composed of Englishmen. 
Parton, the historian, speaking of this company, says : 
"The British Guard consisted of fifty or sixty English- 
men, old residents of New Orleans, many of them men of 
large property and extensive business. On returning to 
their armory, late in the evening, after the disbanding of 
the Foreign Legion, they had held a formal meeting, at 
which it was voted to send their arms, accoutrements, 
and uniforms to the camp of General Beauregard. On 
learning this, a few days after the occupation of the city. 
General Butler sent for Captain Burrows, the commander 
of the company, who confessed the fact. The general 
then directed him to order his company to leave New 
Orleans within twenty-four hours ; and declared his in- 
tention to arrest and confine in Fort Jackson any who 
should fail to obey the order. The violation of the law 
of neutrality had been clear and indefensible. These men 
had enjoyed for many years the protection of the United 
States government, under which they acquired wealth 
and distinction, and then embraced the first opportunity 
that had offered to give material aid to its enemies." 

This action by Gen. Butler, as might be expected, 
called forth an exhibition of brazen effrontery from the 
acting British consul, who unblushingly declared that the 
enforcement of the order would "infringe the rights of 
British subjects residing in New Orleans." 

But Butler replied: "I intend this order to be strictly 
enforced. I am content for the present to suffer open 
enemies to remain in the city of their nativity; but law- 
defying and treacherous alien enemies shall not." 

The order was enforced. Every member of the Eng- 
lish company got out of New Orleans, except the Cap- 
tain and another, who soon found themselves incarcer- 
ated in Fort Jackson. 

On another occasion an Englishman had boasted that 
he had challenged a Union officer to a duel, but that the 
latter had cowardly avoided the encounter. Butler heard 



IV A J? OF THE REBELLION, 1861- iSbs- 99 

of the Englishman's boast and sent for him. After get- 
ting him to admit that he had hed when he made the 
boast, and that the latter had no basis in fact, Butler re- 
quested him to sign a paper to that effect. But the 
Englishman refused, saying in substance : 

"You may fill my head with bullets, but I will never 
sign that paper!" 

"Very well," nonchalantly replied Butler, and, turning 
to an officer, remarked: "Arrange to have the prisoner 
executed at sunrise. I am going to dinner." 

And forthwith, the General left the apartment. He 
was gone but a short time, when a messenger came run- 
ning up to him with the information that the Englishman 
had signed. So the latter's life was spared. 

Speaking of the Trent case, and the Slidell-Mason 
affair, Boynton's History of the Navy During the Re- 
bellion remarks that: "Almost as simultaneously as the 
telegraph could flash the account over the Kingdom, 
Great Britain blazed with excitement, and the real spirit 
of England was fully revealed. The feelings of hostility 
toward the North, which had been partially held in check 
for decency's sake, had now found an occasion and an 
excuse, if not a proper cause. It showed, in a manner 
that American statesmen would be wise to remember, 
even when it is forgiven, how, beneath all the friendly 
manifestations which lie on the surface, the old feeling of 
dislike and even animosity toward our country remains 
in the heart of England, so that a very slight cause will 
kindle it into a flame that will burn with all its former 
intensity of passion. England may respect us, may de- 
sire and seek our friendship ; but while she remains as 
she now is, a country of classes, she cannot be a sincere 
and hearty friend." 

Gen. Butler once expressed his opinion that we made 
a mistake in not accepting England's challenge at that 
time, even with civil war on our hand. "England of her 
own soldiers," said he, "has never had more than twenty- 

L.ofC. 



loo NINTH REGIMENT CONN VOL. INFANTRY. 

five thousand men on any one battle-field. The time has 
gone past for buying Germans to fight her battles. We 
had more soldiers starve at Andersonville than England 
had men at Waterloo' — and a large part of those at 
Waterloo were commanded by an Irishman. * * * 
Ninety days would have enlisted Irishmen enough to 
take Canada. * * * When patriotic Irishmen began 
to learn that there was a chance for war with England, 
they came to me in squads. And if I had said to them : 
'Yes, I want you to march to Canada and take that first, 
and then for the western coast of Ireland, or against any 
Englishmen we can find against us down South,' I 
could have filled up not only one or two regiments in 
Massachusetts, but eight or ten." 

Lossing, referring to England's sympathy for the 
South, observes that "The Confederates organized a navy 
department, and gave places to the officers who had de- 
serted the National flag ; but their means for the creation 
of a marine force were insignificant. So they looked to 
Europe for aid, and, in the greed of England for the 
'supremacy of the seas,' they found a steadfast friend and 
a helper. The first formidable pirate ship put afloat was 
the Smnter, Capt. Semmes, whose destructive career was 
ended at the close of 1861. Meanwhile, arrangements 
were made by the Confederates with Laird, a member of 
the British Parliament and a ship-builder, at Liverpool, 
to construct several powerful steamships for their use. 
The Oreto (afterward Florida) was soon at sea, and, in 
September, 1862, she ran the blockade at Mobile under 
English colors. She went to sea again in December, and 
made havoc among American merchantmen. She was 
never again in a Confederate port, but always found a 
welcome in British colonial harbors. 

"Semmes was soon in command of a powerful vessel, 
built by Laird, called the Alabama. She was essentially 
a British pirate ship, with a Confederate commander and 
flag ; and she fulfilled the expectations of the British ship- 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, i86i-i8bs. loi 

ping interest, by frightening American commerce into 
British vessels, and giving them a monopoly of the carry- 
ing trade. She always avoided our national vessels sent 
after her. She was finally blockaded in the French port 
of Cherbourg, by the Kearsarge, Captain Winslow. The 
French Government ordered the pirate to leave their 
waters. She went out on the 15th of June, 1864, met the 
Kearsarge, and, after a short conflict, was sent to the bot- 
tom of the sea. Ifer commander and others were picked 
up by an English vessel in attendance, which carried 
them to England to save them from their conqueror." 

The Alabama, says Lossing, "was built, armed, and 
furnished in England, and almost wholly manned by Brit- 
ish subjects, several of them from the Royal navy. She 
sailed out of England under a British flag, and was 
always welcomed into British ports. And before she 
went into battle with the Kearsarge, her commander, in a 
little speech to her officers and crew, repeated the words 
of Lord Nelson, 'England expects every man to do his 
duty !' She was not allowed to carry her prizes into 
British ports, and so her commander generally plundered 
and burnt them at sea. The Alabama captured and de- 
stroyed 64 American vessels." The estimated value of 
property destroyed by the pirate was $10,000,000. 

The Rev. Frederic Denison, in his History of The Third 
Rhode Island, states that: "However others may, we cer- 
tainly never shall forget how, through English sympa- 
thy and English capital, the slaveholders' Rebellion was 
encouraged and strengthened and prolonged. * * * 
We were obliged to contend with English sentiments and 
English guns. After due consideration we have cred- 
ited the toil, treasure and blood of the last two years of 
the war to England — a heavy account certainly. * * * 
As John Bull selfishly, if not madly, gored us in the hour 
of our calamity and affliction, we shall claim the right of 
remembering our wounds in the years of our prosperity." 

The Ninth remained in New Orleans but a few days, 



1 02 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. IN FA NTR V. 

at this time, being then transferred to Camp Parapet, 
about seven miles above the city. This fortified camp 
had constituted one of the defences of New Orleans, and 
comprised fine earthworks, some two and a half miles in 
length. The rebels had mounted twenty-nine guns in 
the place. 

During the stay of the Ninth in New Orleans, it was 
thus referred to. May 3, 1862, by the Evening Delta of 
that city : "A regiment of soldiers this morning took up 
their line of march, apparently towards the Jackson Rail- 
road station. The crowd that followed them was much 
larger than any we have yet seen upon the streets upon 
any similar occasion. We think that this idle curiosity 
displayed by our citizens has had sufficient vent, and it is 
high time that orderly people were betaking themselves 
to indoor amusements. If they have nothing to do, let 
them stay at home, avoid the sun, and preserve their 
health." From which, the temper of the Delta could be 
readily judged. 

Corporal Peabody of the Fourth Massachusetts battery, 
already quoted, writes in his diary, under date of May 5, 
1862 : "Monday. Weather clear and hot. * * * 
After dinner an up-river movement began. The Ninth 
and Twelfth Connecticut, except one company of the 
Ninth, embarked on the steamship Mississippi, and, 
about 2 p. m., sailed for Carrollton, some miles north of 
the city. Shortly after the departure of the big steam- 
ship, the river steamer Diana hauled into Pier 17 [New 
Orleans], and taking on the baggage and guard of the 
troops just gone, cast loose about 4 p. m., and proceeded 
up-river. About 4.30 o'clock, the river steamer Ceres 
hauled into Pier 17 to take on board our battery. De- 
positing knapsacks, haversacks and canteens on the mid- 
dle deck, we returned to the pier and began loading 
battery ; this work we completed about 6 p. m. At 6.15, 
lines were cast loose and we started up-river. We had 
a fine view of the river up and down for several miles. 



IVAJ? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 103 

* * * All along the levee in the city, were river 
steamers, some partially burned and many others burned 
to the water's edge. * * * About 7 p. m., we passed 
the beautiful town of Carrollton, on the east bank of the 
river, and about five miles above New Orleans. Fifteen 
or twenty minutes later, we reached Camp Parapet, two 
miles above Carrollton. * * * Here we found the 
Mississippi, anchored out in the river, and the Diana at 
the levee and tied up. The Ceres also hauled into the 
levee at the stem of the Diana and made fast for the 
night." 

The next morning, May 6, 1862, the Diana was busily 
engaged transferring the Ninth and Twelfth Connecticut 
regiments from the Mississippi to the shore. The Fourth 
Massachusetts Light Battery landed from the Ceres. By 
noon, nearly all the property of the Ninth regiment was 
on shore. The troops, numbering about 2,000 men, went 
into camp, the line being made up as follows, from right 
to left : The Ninth Connecticut on the extreme right on 
the low ground toward the Matarie Ridge road. Then 
came, in line, the Third section of the Massachusetts bat- 
tery, under Lieut. Taylor; the Second section, under 
Lieut. Davidson ; the Twelfth Connecticut regiment ; and 
then the First section of the battery. This section was 
located in a charming orange grove. The entire force 
was commanded by Gen. Phelps, who had established his 
headquarters in the rear of the Twelfth Connecticut. 
Gen. Phelps' staff was made up as follows : First Lieut. 
Alfred G. Hall, Ninth Connecticut, A. D. C, and acting 
assistant adjutant-general; Surgeon William B.Brownell, 
Twelfth Connecticut, medical director; First Lieut. 
Erwin \J. N. Hitchcock, Seventh Vermont, A. D. C. ; 
First Lieut. Frank Wells, Thirteenth Connecticut, quar- 
termaster and commissary ; First Lieut. George W. Pot- 
ter, Twelfth Connecticut, provost marshal. 

The fortifications of Camp Parapet extended from the 
river to a point in the swamps between Matarie Ridge 



1 04 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL . INFA NTR Y. 

road and Lake Ponchartrain. The rebel garrison had 
consisted of Louisiana troops. Across the river on the 
west bank the enemy had also constructed a redoubt, 
mounting six guns. Previous to vacating Camp Para- 
pet, they had dismounted and spiked the guns and 
thrown fifteen of them into the river. The gun carriages 
had been set on fire, and the platforms and traverses 
smashed. A huge raft had previously been constructed, 
and stretched across the river as an adjunct to the fortifi- 
cations to prevent Davis' fleet and Halleck's troops from 
getting by from above. But the Federal forces had at- 
tacked the rebels in the rear and compelled them to 
abandon the works. 

The location of the Ninth at Camp Parapet was less 
desirable than the ground occupied by the other organi- 
zations, but the men made the best of their surroundings 
and improved their quarters as much as circumstances 
would permit. The water of the Mississippi was gener- 
ally used for washing and cooking purposes, and though 
yellow in hue, it was found to be clean and quite cold. 
The Ninth had a good view of vessels going up or down 
the river, and this added variety to the scene. On the 
afternoon of May 7, the steamer Diana, which had gone 
down to New Orleans, returned, bringing Weitzel's com- 
pany of Pioneers to camp. There was already consid- 
able sickness at Camp Parapet, and the chief trouble 
being diarrhoea, attributed largely to the river water. 
On Sunday afternoon. May 18, Gen. Butler and his stafT 
passed through the camp. 

Capt. Michael McCarten, of Co. C, of the Ninth, had 
resigned April 15, 1862. He was one of the most popu- 
lar ofificers in the regiment, and his departure was very 
generally regretted. He resigned on account of the 
serious illness of his wife, her physician expressing the 
opinion that if the captain did not soon return home she 
would not live. Capt. McCarten felt very badly over this 
piece of information, and received much sympathy from 



JVAJi OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 105 

his brother officers. He wrote out his resignation and 
tendered it. After some difficulty, it was accepted, and 
he made preparations to leave. This was shortly before 
the Ninth left Ship Island for the South West Pass. 

Lieut. John G. Healy, of the Ninth, had been pro- 
moted in April, and succeeded Capt. McCarten, as cap- 
tain of Co. C, of the regiment. While at Camp Parapet, 
in May, Capt. Healy was ordered to take a detail and 
proceed to the Court House in Carrollton. Information 
had been received that some boxes of arms and ammu- 
nition had been stored in the Court House, by the enemy, 
and Capt. Healy was directed to get possession of these. 
He accordingly selected fourteen men and marched to 
the place, entered the village, and, followed by a large 
crowd, proceeded to the building just mentioned. Ar- 
riving at the Court House, he posted a guard to keep 
back the crowd, and then entered the building. A thor- 
ough search was made, but nothing in the line of war 
material was found, save a number of empty musket 
boxes. Capt. Healy next visited the jail to ascertain the 
number of prisoners. He found twenty-three confined 
there, but as none had been locked up for political of- 
fences, he did not release any. Capt. Healy discovered 
two men in the village with loaded muskets. He took 
these muskets away from them, and let the two men go. 

Corporal Michael P. Coen, of Company F, of the 
Ninth, writing home to Waterbury, from Camp Parapet, 
May 24, 1862, informs his relatives that "We have got a 
full suit of new clothes here now, of a style similar to 
those of Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher's Irish Brigade, 
— sky blue overcoats, dark blue or black dresscoats, blue 
trousers with a green stripe, high black dress hats with a 
pair of green tassels, a green scarf of silk around the 
waist, besides our belts," etc. 

On May 21, 1862, Adjutant Alfred G. Hall, of the 
Ninth, who was then acting assistant adjutant-general 
on the staff of Gen. Phelps, started for Lake Ponchar- 



1 06 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. IN FA NTR 1 '. 

train, accompanied by Corporal W. M. Peabody of the 
Fourth Massachusetts Light Battery. They set out on 
horseback at 7 a. m., and reached the lake about two 
hours later. The scenery at this point was beautiful, and 
the place had been a popular Summer resort. Lake 
Ponchartrain is some forty miles long by twenty-five 
miles in width, forming a magnificent sheet of water. 
Here Adjutant Hall and Corporal Peabody separated^ 
the former embarking for Ship Island, and the Corporal 
returning to Camp Parapet with the horses. The Fif- 
teenth Maine regiment landed at Camp Parapet May 31. 

The same day, the Ninth Connecticut began embark- 
ing at 10 a. m., enroute to Baton Rouge. The regiment 
and its camp equipage was all aboard about 4 p. m., lines 
were cast ofif and the two steamers conveying the Ninth 
and its appurtenances headed up the river. 

Baton Rouge is about 123 miles above where Camp 
Parapet was located. A good idea of the scenes along 
the route is given by a soldier, who went up the river 
some weeks after the Ninth. He says : "About 6 a. m., 
passed Kenner, a small town on the east bank of the 
river, eleven miles above Camp Parapet. About 2 p. m., 
we were up with the beautiful town of Donaldsonville, on 
the west bank, fifty-four miles by river from Camp Para- 
pet. "All the way to this point we had seen fine planta- 
tions, but about this vicinity the scenery was magnificent, 
surpassing anything we had heretofore witnessed on the 
river. All nature is smiling on magnificent fields of cot- 
ton and sugar cane, while the white villas of the planters, 
snugly ensconced among fine and cool-looking groves, 
and the plantation hands, working in the fields, would 
almost lead one to believe that profound peace reigned 
in the land, j But after a glance inboard, the sight of a 
i2-pounder cannon looking you in the face changes your 
thoughts." Baton Rouge is located on the east bank of 
the river, and was then a place of some 7,000 people, and 
the capital of the State of Louisiana. It is built mainly 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 107 

on a bluff, the latter extending from a point about ten 
miles below the city to Port Hudson, many miles above. 
The capitol building-, or State House, was quite an im- 
posing structure, with handsome grounds. The building 
had been set on fire by the enemy, on the approach of 
the Union forces, and badly damaged. Brig.-Gen. 
Thomas Williams took possession of the city, for the 
Union, May 10, 1862. At the time the Ninth arrived in 
Baton Rouge, there were two churches there, a Catholic 
and a Presbyterian. The former was built of brick, in 
Gothic style. A rectory adjoined it, and, as was stated 
at the time, "the reverend father is at home to all visit- 
ors.

CAHILL OF THE NINTH ASSUMES COMMAND OF THE 
UNION FORCES ON THE DEATH OF GEN. WILLIAMS — 
HIS OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE ENGAGEMENT — THE 
REBELS ARE DEFEATED. 

THE city of Vicksburg, Miss., located at a bend on 
the east side of the Mississippi, above Baton 
Rogue, La., had been strongly fortified by the rebels. 
It commanded the river at that point and blockaded navi- 
gation up and down. Heavy batteries had been erected 
on the bluffs overlooking the river. 

The Union commanders decided to reopen navigation 
by cutting a canal across the peninsular at Vicksburg, 
thus changing the course of the river, isolating the city 
and enabling the Union forces to avoid the batteries of 
the enemy. 

The Ninth Connecticut was a part of the expeditionary 
force, under Gen. Wiliams, for this purpose. Under date 
of Baton Rouge, June 17, 1862, Col. Cahill issued a regi- 
mental order to the Ninth, covering the embarkation of 
the command. This order provided that the latter 
should go aboard as follows : 

On the steamer Diana: the Field and Staflf ; Band and 
Field Music ; Company D, Company E, Company F, 
Company I. 

On steamer Burton: Company B, Company C, Com- 
pany G ; Capt. Wright of Company G, to be in command. 

On steamer Sallie Robinson: Company A, Company K, 
Company H ; Capt. Sawyer of Company H, to be in com- 
mand. 



JVAJ? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 109 

Says the Croffut-Morris work : "Coming in sight of 
batteries which the rebels had posted here and there to 
command the river, the infantry would go ashore and 
attack by land on the flank, driving the enemy from the 
position, and enabling the fleet to pass up. The Ninth 
was several times engaged in these operations, and ren- 
dered much service. The vessels went to the very guns 
of Vicksburg, when the brigade was landed on the west 
side of the river, and advanced to Young's Station, oppo- 
site the city. 

"Here Commodore Farragut had already arrived, and 
had set large numbers of soldiers and negroes at work 
digging the famous canal for a new channel of the river ; 
and the regiment of Williams' brigade at once joined 
enthusiastically in the excavation for the cut-ofif. Col. 
Cahill of the Ninth was the ranking colonel, and com- 
manded in the absence of Gen. Williams. 

"Here the Ninth again suffered greatly. There was 
nothing to eat for weeks but pork and hard-tack; no 
water to drink but the muddy water of the Mississippi. 
The swamp reeked with malaria, and the men slept upon 
tlie mud. The supply of quinine, that panacea for all 
the soldier's aches and ills, was exausted ; there was 
little medicine of any sort. Requisitions were sent as 
far as New Orleans ; but the medical Dogberry declined 
to honor them on the ground of 'irregularity.' Almost 
the whole of the Ninth regiment was at one time on the 
sick-list with fever caused by exposure and privation. 
The poor fellows died sometimes at the fearful rate of 
a score a week ; and out of the * * * Connecticut 
members present, the state catalogue of troops shows 
that one hundred and fifty-three died during this season, 
— a mortality not equalled by any other of our regiments 
within a similar period. 

"After a month of this deadly service, the engineers 
discovered that the water was falling and would not flow 
through their canal; and the work was abandoned.

Williams' brigade returned down the river again about 
the 1st of August; Breckinridge pursuing along the 
shore. On the boat Algerine left behind were three 
hundred sick, in charge of Surgeon Gallagher of the 
Ninth. * * * " 

One of the Ninth's ofBcers, in a brief sketch of the 
regiment some years ago, speaking of the period of 
which we are treating, states that "In June the Ninth 
joined the expeditionary corps under Gen. Thomas Wil- 
liams, for the destruction of 'Camp Moore.' From this 
place the regiment went to a point on the Missis- 
sippi river opposite Vicksburg, and on June 25th was 
put to work, with other regiments, in cutting the famous 
canal which was expected to isolate Vicksburg by divert- 
ing the river away from its wharves and rendering them 
unapproachable to shipping. During the continuance of 
this work, a force of twenty picked men, under Capt. 
Healy and Lieutenant Patrick T. Clafifee, [both of Co. 
C], was crossed over the river under cover of darkness, 
and remained in the swamp under the guns of Vicks- 
burg for eight days. The work was finally abandoned 
as not feasible, though not until the Ninth had suffered 
severe loss from the terrible exposure of the men." 

Col. Cahill, of the Ninth, wrote: "When Gen. Wil- 
liams prepared to go up the river, I was taken from Gen. 
J. W. Phelps' command, then at Camp Parapet, and 
ordered to report to Gen. Williams and with him occu- 
pied Baton Rogue; made the summer campaign of 1862 
up the river, landing at Grand Gulf and other points, driv- 
ing the enemy from his works, and went into position 
before Vicksburg, acting in connection with Admiral 
Farragut in the first siege of that place." 

"Early in June," writes Capt. Lawrence O'Brien, "the 
Ninth went on an expedition to West Baton Rouge and 
spent two days on the plantation of Col. Allen (Con- 
federate). We returned to Baton Rouge, and June 18, 
started on the expedition to Vicksburg. Our steamers

would travel by day, and put into shore for the night. 
On June 24, we landed below Ellis Cliffs, to attack a 
battery which annoyed our boats as they passed. On our 
approach, the enemy ran away and we went in pursuit, 
bent upon capturing the battery. The march in the heat 
was very distressing upon all engaged. Next day we 
went up Bayou Pierre and marched around to the rear 
of Grand Gulf, a place the enemy had fortified, but here, 
also, he decamped, going on a train. We got sight of 
the train and would have captured it, but for the over- 
caution of the General in halting more than an hour on 
the appearance of a small body of the enemy's cavalry. 
The latter had been surprised while foraging on a plan- 
tation which was well stocked. These cavalrymen 
quickly decamped. 

"While we were waiting, Nims' battery furnished 
amusement, racing with the horses and mules of the 
plantation. The men had the most difficulty after mount- 
ing the mules to stay on their backs. It was midday 
and the sun was intensely hot, but the colored people 
were of great service to us, helping to get good drinking 
water. The march was a circuit of fifteen miles, the most 
part being through wild cane fields and we were very 
tired when we reached Grand Gulf. It was night, and 
when all our people were on board, the town was set on 
fire and as we left it, the blaze lighted up the country for 
miles.'' 

Speaking of the Ninth's heavy loss by disease at Vicks- 
burg, Capt. O'Brien states: "We could not give a funeral 
escort to the dead ; the few who were able to do guard 
and picket duty could not attend to any extra duty. 
Gen. Williams was not in sympathy with his men. He 
exacted the most rigid discipline. Notwithstanding the 
great amount of sickness prevailing, he ordered the 
brigade to parade every day, in marching order, with 
knapsacks packed. I saw men drop out of the line 
exhausted, and when we returned many of them would 



112 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

be dead. This drill and parading was done when the 
thermometer registered no to 115 in the shade." 

The Ninth lost a valuable officer, July 21, 1862, by the 
death of First Lieut. Frederick M. Fairchild of Bridge- 
port. He belonged to Company K, and had enlisted 
into the regiment Feb. 18, 1862. He had previously 
been first sergeant of Company H, First Connecticut 
regiment. 

The Fourth Massachusetts Light Battery did not 
accompany the Ninth regiment to Vicksburg, but 
remained with other organizations at Baton Rouge. We 
quote from the diary of Corporal Peabody. Writing 
under date of July 26, 1862, he says : "Saturday. At a 
very early hour this morning, the expedition commanded 
by Gen. Williams arrived from Vicksburg, Miss., on the 
steamers SaWie Robinson, Diana, Louisiana Belle, and A''. 
Burton. The troops that came down on these steamers 
were the Seventh Vermont, Ninth Connecticut, Thirtieth 
Massachusetts and Fourth Wisconsin regiments, the Sec- 
ond Massachusetts battery and two sections of the Sixth 
Massachusetts battery. About 6 o'clock, these troops 
began disembarking and moved to their respective camps. 
Officers and men all look as if they had seen hard service, 
and many of them are sick from disease contracted while 
digging the cut-off on the point of land opposite Vicks- 
burg. Between 11 and 12 a. m., Farragut's fleet arrived 
down from the same place and anchored in the river in 
front of the city. This strong reinforcement to this gar- 
rison, causes considerable excitement among the popu- 
lation of the city, who have been on the streets from an 
early hour this morning watching every move of our 
troops. Teams have been driving through the streets 
all day, conveying to the different camps the equipage 
of the troops just arrived. To-night our troops are dis- 
tributed as follows: The Sixth Michigan; Fourth Wis- 
consin, Ninth Connecticut, and Fourteenth Maine regi- 
ments occupy the barracks. The Thirtieth Massachu- 



WAJi OF THE REBELLION, 1S61-1S63. 113 

setts regiment occupies the State Capitol. The Twenty- 
first Indiana and Seventh Vermont regiments, with the 
Second and Sixth Massachusetts batteries and Magee's 
Massachusetts cavalry, are encamped near Magnolia 
cemetery. Gen. Williams has re-occupied the comman- 
dant's house at the arsenal and has assumed command of 
the post. 

"July 31- [1862], * * * -phg troops arrived 
promptly, [at the race course, Baton Rouge], and line 
being formed at once, at 7 a. m. we moved forward in 
review. The troops in line, from right to left, were the 
Sixth Michigan, Fourth Wisconsin, Twenty-first Indi- 
ana, Ninth Connecticut, Seventh Vermont, Fourteenth 
Maine, and Thirtieth Massachusetts regiments ; the Sec- 
ond, Fourth, and Sixth Massachusetts batteries ; also a 
section of small guns attached to the Twenty-first Indi- 
ana regiment, manned by their own men under the com- 
mand of Second Lieut. James H. Brown, of Company 
F ; and Magee's company of Massachusetts cavalry. 
Review ended, inspection followed, this duty being per- 
formed by Gen. Williams, most thoroughly. * * * " 

"August I, Friday. Day opened fine. At 5 a. m., 
battery harnessed and marched to the race-course for 
drill and inspection. The regiments turned out in small 
force this morning. Not a regiment of infantry present 
with over 200 men, the Fourth Wisconsin being the 
smallest, numbering 60 men. Two sections represent the 
Second Massachusetts, and one section the Sixth Massa- 
chusetts, battery. * * * 

"August 2. Saturday. Morning came in pleasant. 
At 5 a. m., battery * * * marched to the race-course 
for inspection and drill. Passed the Fourth Wisconsin, 
Sixth Michigan and Ninth Connecticut marching out. 
These regiments turn out a small number of men this 
morning, owing to the prevalence of sickness. Arriving 
on the ground promptly on time, we found Gen. Williams 
and stafif already there. Line was quickly formed, the 



114 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

review was of short duration and then inspection was 
held. Inspection over, the troops were drilled in vari- 
ous evolutions under the eye of the General, until 7 a. m., 
when all were dismissed to camp. * * * Sickness 
among the troops here is very prevalent and several 
soldiers die each day. Nearly one-half of this garrison 
is in the hands of surgeons. Rumors fill the air that 
a force of rebels, from 7,000 to 10,000 strong, is advanc- 
ing from Camp Moore, to attack this post. Should the 
rumors prove true and the 'Johnnies' capture us, they 
will not only get the troops, but $2,000,000 of govern- 
ment property. Gen. Williams is expecting something 
as he keeps out on all roads strong scouting parties. 
In order to be prepared for all emergencies, the 
Thirtieth Massachusetts regiment, 350 men, was ordered 
from the State House this p. m., to a camp in the sub- 
urbs. In the barracks, the troops are held in readiness 
to move in a moment. wSuch is the vigilance of our post 
commander. 

"August 4. Monday. Troops called to arms at i 
o'clock this morning. * * * Under arms until sun- 
rise, but no enemy appearing the line was dismissed. * * 
* At sunset a negro came in and reported to Gen. Wil- 
liams that a force of the enemy, about 8,000 strong, was 
encamped at Corinth bridge, on the Clinton road, ten 
miles from the city, and w^ould surely attack his troops 
in the morning. To-night the weather is line. Every- 
thing is perfectly quiet about our lines and in the city. 
There is no excitement among our soldiers, although 
most all are expecting to be attacked, within a few hours, 
by a force almost three times our strength. Of about 
5,000 troops here, nearly one-half are in the hospitals. 
To assist us in the coming battle we have three gun- 
boats. * * * " 

The Confederate force to attack Baton Rouge was 
commanded by Major Gen. John C. Breckenridge, of 
Kentucky, who had been vice-president of the United 



JVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1 861-1863. 115 

States. His force was divided intO' two divisions, the 
first being commanded by Brig. Gen. Charles Clark, of 
Mississippi, and the second by Brig. Gen. Daniel Rug- 
gles, "a renegade native of Massachusetts and an old 
army officer." The Confederate troops comprised regi- 
ments from Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee 
and Louisiana. They left Camp Moore, eighty miles 
away, July 29, 1862, and advanced to the attack. Aug. 
4, they arrived at Corinth bridge, ten miles away. 

At daylight on the morning of Aug. 5, 1862, the battle 
of Baton Rouge began. Gen. Williams was killed during 
the engagement and the command of the Union forces 
thereupon devolved on Col. Cahill of the Ninth, Lieut. 
Col. Richard Fitz Gibbon commanding the regiment. 
The following is Col. Cahill 's official report of the bat- 
tle: 

Baton Rouge, August 9, 1862. 

To Captain R. J. Davis, A. A. General, Department of the 
Gulf:— 

Sir — Being called to the command of the force at 
Baton Rouge, on the occasion of the action August 5, 
by the unfortunate death of General Williams, it becomes 
my duty to report the circumstances of the glorious vic- 
tory. Rumors of the advance of the enemy in heavy force 
had prevailed for some days. On the afternoon of August 
4, General Williams called the attention of the comman- 
dants of regiments and batteries to the probability of an 
attack at an early hour in the morning. The Fourteenth 
Maine, Col. A. Nickerson ; the Twenty-first Indiana, 
under Lieut. Col. Keith ; the Sixth Michigan, under Act- 
ing Lieut. Col. Clark ; and the Seventh Vermont, Col. 
Roberts, were encamped, the first with its right resting 
on the intersection of the Greenwell Springs road, and 
fronting on a road running to the intersection of the 
Bayou Sara and Clinton roads. These encampments were 
in heavy timber. The Twenty-first Indiana were encamped 
on about the same line front, and on the right of the 
Greenwell Springs road. On nearly the same line front, 
but still further to the right, at the intersection of the 
Clay Cut and Perkins roads, were the Sixth Michigan. 



ii6 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

The Seventh Vermont were some distance to the rear, 
and between the Sixth Michigan and Twenty-first Indi- 
ana, with the camp fronting the city. Everett's battery, 
under Lieut. Carruth, was in bivouac, on the right of the 
Fourteenth Maine, and on the right of the Twenty-first 
Indiana. Still further to the right were the guns in charge 
of the Twenty-first Indiana. On the extreme right, the 

guns of Nims' battery, under Lieut. , were brought 

mto position early in the action on the right. The Thir- 
tieth Massachusetts, under Colonel Dudley, were 
brought up from their quarters in the Capitol on the night 
of the 4th, and took position on the left of the Sixth 
Michigan. On the extreme left, in advance of the left 
bank of the Bayou Gap, with an oblique front towards 
the intersection of the Bayou Sara and Clinton roads, with 
two pieces of Manning's battery, were the Ninth Con- 
necticut and Fourth Wisconsin. The remaining guns of 
Manning's battery were in position on the right bank 
of the bed of Bayou Gap. This was the real line of de- 
fence for the left flank, covering the north and east of the 
arsenal grounds. General Williams, in his instructions 
to myself and Lieut. Col. Bean, commanding 4th Wis- 
consin Volunteers, was very clear and positive in his or- 
ders to hold this position at all hazards, as he anticipated 
the enemy would advance (under cover of the fire from 
the ram Arkansas, with the gunboats from the Red river), 
through the open grounds of the Sawmill and Dough- 
erty's Plantation, and take possession of the Manae 
ground. The above mentioned advance on the left bank 
of the Bayou was only ordered by General Williams, 
after a lengthy consideration, on the evening of the 4th 
instant, with the intention of checking an advance on the 
same position by the Bayou Sara and Clinton roads ; and 
for that reason we only brought forward the light how- 
itzers of Manning's battery to the advance positions, 
leaving the heavy guns on the original line. 

At early daylight on the morning of August 5, the 
enemy threw his whole force on the camps of the Four- 
teenth Maine, Twenty-first Indiana and Sixth Michigan, 
with the batteries attached to each regiment. These 
troops stood their ground nobly, meeting the tremendous 
force thrown upon them with unflinching bravery. On 
looking over the battle ground since the engagement, I 
cannot conceive how it was possible for so many men to 



JVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. nj 

have been engaged in so small a space of ground. The 
attack was nearly simultaneous ; but the first fire in line 
from the enemy's right was directed on the Fourteenth 
Maine, and was instantly answered by that regiment by a 
solid line volley, which must have done terrible execution. 
The companies of the Twenty-first Indiana, which were in 
the advance as pickets, had fallen back in order. The whole 
regiment advanced toward the Magnolia cemetery, and 
east of it. At this time Major Hayes was seriously 
wounded, and was taken from the field. The regiment 
worked, advancing and retiring, and changing front 
as the enemy showed himself through the smoke. At 
nearly the close of the action Lieutenant Colonel Keith, 
commanding the regiment, had to leave the field, badly 
wounded, leaving the regiment, without a field officer, 
in command of Capt. Grimsey. It was at this stage of 
the battle that General Williams fell, mortally wounded. 
He had just said to the men of the Twenty-first, "Boys, 
your field officers are all gone. I will lead you." The 
men answered with three cheers for the General. The 
sounds had scarcely died away when he fell. The General 
had previously issued an order for the line to fall 
back, and the artillery having done so the regiments 
retired in good order to the positions now oc- 
cupied. For details of movements and conduct of the 
regiments and batteries, I would refer you to the accom- 
panying reports. I will only trespass on the patience of 
the commanding General further to say what the offi- 
cers commanding regiments and corps cannot say for 
themselves — that more undaunted bravery, coolness and 
skill, in the handling of their commands, has not been 
displayed on any battle field than on that of Baton Rouge 
and that, too, by of^cers who never before handled troops 
in a fight. From the 21st Indiana and 6th Michigan 
myself, in common with others, expected a great deal, 
and were not disappointed, but when I look back a few 
short months, and bring to my mind the arrival of the 
14th Maine at Ship Island, and to-day consider the work 
done by that regiment in the action, the smoothness and 
steadiness of its evolutions on difficult ground and under 
fire from the veterans of the Confederate service, I can 
only say that, for his efforts in building up his regiment, 
the most serious task of a commander, and his conduct 
in the field. Col. Nickerson, of the 14th Maine, deserves 



1 1 8 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTR Y. 

the highest praise. To the impetuous Lt. Col. Keith, of 
the 2 1st Indiana, no words of mine can do justice. He 
was everywhere, in every place, working his men through 
tents, trees and underbrush like a veteran, and when seri- 
ously wounded and [about to be] taken from the field he 
would not give up, but moved around among his ofificers 
and men, counselling and assisting in everything, to the 
injury and irritation of his wounds. Col. Roberts, of the 
7th Vermont, fell mortally wounded, and has since died. 
He was a gentleman of a generous nature and of culti- 
vated mind. 

Col. Nickerson, of the 14th Maine, had his horse shot 
from under him by a discharge of grape. He sprang 
from under his dying steed, and waving his sword, called 
upon his men for one more charge. The men sprang 
forward, with three roaring cheers, and drove back the 
advancing foe. At this time the gallant Captain French, 
of Company K, 14th Maine, received his terrible wound. 
The charge was made in the presence of Gen. Williams, 
who complimented the men very highly. Captain French 
was placed on board the unfortunate steamer Whitman, 
and was lost when she went down. His name deserves 
special mention. The conduct of the officers and men of 
the several batteries was everything that could be looked 
for by the commanding General. The various batteries 
were very much reduced by sickness and deaths, and, 
even with the assistance of details from the infantry, were 
worked short-handed. Lieutenant Hall, in command of 
the second piece of Nims' battery, wishes special mention 
made of the successful rally by men of the Twenty-first 
Indiana and three men of the Ninth Connecticut, who, 
with the assistance of Private Tyler, who left his sick bed 
and acted as sergeant, gunner, etc., and Privates Shield 
and Clogston, as also Sergeant Cheever, who left the 
hospital sick to do his duty, rallied and brought off the 
gun, when every man and horse was shot down and the 
piece in the hands of the enemy. The names of the pri- 
vates of infantry engaged in this gallant exploit will be 
forwarded as soon as ascertained. The Ninth Connecti- 
cut and Fourth Wisconsin Volunteers were brought up 
from their position early in the action, and were placed, 
by General Williams' order, in line across the grounds of 
the Orphan asylum, immediately in rear of the camps 
of the Twenty-first Indiana and Fourteenth Maine. The 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. [19 

regiments moved with alacrity and obeyed all orders 
promptly. 

Captain Silas W. Sawyer, of Company H, Ninth regi- 
ment, Connecticut Volunteers, deserves mention for his 
bold reconnoissance on the morning of the 6th. Going 
out on the Bayou Sara road three miles, and finding no 
trace of the presence of the enemy, he took a cattle path 
through the woods, coming out on the Clinton road be- 
yond the original line of our pickets. He scoured the 
country to Reed's plantation, in scouting around which 
he found one of the enemy's caissons, near by another, 
and in a short time he discovered all four. Crossing over 
to Bernard's plantation, he found another and a damaged 
ambulance. Returning to headquarters, he proceeded, 
by order of Colonel Paine, commanding a detachment of 
men and horses from Manning's battery, and a platoon 
of his own company, and brought them in. In conclu- 
sion I would beg leave to call the attention of the General 
commanding to the services of Lieut. Henry H. Elliott, 
Ninth New York Volunteers, lieutenant and acting as- 
sistant adjutant on General Williams' stafif. Of his cool- 
ness and intrepidity in action every officer in the action 
can bear witness, as also to the still more trying duties 
of the details of his official business. I am under deep 
obligations to him for his cheerful and zealous services 
for the time I remained in command. I enclose copies of 
correspondence between myself and Lieut. Elliott. Col- 
onel McMillan, of the Twenty-first Indiana, has been un- 
well for some time. His counsel and advice have been 
freely offered on every occasion. All of which is respect- 
fully submitted. 

Thomas W. Cahill, 

Colonel Commanding at Baton Rouge. 

The loss of the Ninth in this engagement was i killed, 
9 wounded, and 4 missing — 14. Lieut. Col. Fitz Gibbon, 
who commanded the Ninth during the conflict, made a 
report to Adjutant General J. D. Williams, of Connecti- 
cut, of the part taken by the regiment in the battle. This 
report is dated "Baton Rouge, La., Aug. 9th, 1862," and 
reads as follows : 



I20 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

"In accordance with General Orders No. 2, I herewith 
submit my report oi the engagement of the 5th inst. 
About three o'clock on the morning- of the 5th inst., the 
9th Regiment Conn. Vols., according to previous instruc- 
tions, marched under command of Col. Cahill, and took 
position on the left of the line of the defence, the 4th 
Wisconsin on the left, and two howitzers of Manning's 
4th Massachusetts battery on the right of the 9th Con- 
necticut. 

"The position assigned was one admirably calculated 
for military movements, being situated on a hill overlook- 
ing the 'Bayou Gros,' and about half way between the 
river and 'Bayou Sara.' About four o'clock picket firing 
was heard on the right, followed immediately by heavy 
volleys of musketry and discharges of artillery. The posi- 
tion of the enemy could be determined only from the 
firing, owing to a heavy fog. Ks, the centre was the prin- 
cipal point of attack, this regiment and the battery was 
moved to its support. To complete this manoeuvre, this 
regiment marched along the 'North road' until it came 
within range of the enemy's guns, when it filed across the 
road in the midst of a shower of grape and canister, and 
formed in line of battle in a corn-field, the battery open- 
ing lire from the road. The enemy at this juncture ap- 
peared directly in front, yelling and firing volleys of 
musketry, which, however, did but little damage, the shot 
mostly going over us, owing to the proximity of the 
enemy, who on delivering his fire fell back. The left flank 
being exposed we were ordered to its defence, and the 
regiment resumed its first position, which it retained the 
remainder of the day and night. 

"Major Frye, having been sent to the right for orders, 
returned with the sad intelligence of the death of General 
Williams, when Col. Cahill, being senior of^cer present, 
assumed command of the brigade. By his order. Col. 
Nickerson, of the 14th Maine, took command of the left 
wing, including this regiment. Receiving information 



IV A J^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 121 

that our left was about to be attacked, Everett's battery 
was sent to its support, live men from this regiment being 
detailed as artillerists, in addition to fifty previously de- 
tailed to Nims' battery. The threatened attack, how- 
ever, was not made, and the regiment retained its posi- 
tion. Throughout the day this regiment was ably sup- 
ported by the 4th Wisconsin, Lt. Col. Bean commanding. 
On the morning of the 6th inst. Capt. S. W. Sawyer, of 
Co. H, with a detachment of his men, captured and 
brought in five caissons filled with ammunition. 

"The officers and men of the regiment deserve credit 
for their good conduct, under the disadvantage of having 
but twelve line officers in the field, most of the others 
being on detached service, and some sick in hospital. 
Adjutant Kattenstroth and Sergeant-Major Curtis ren- 
dered efficient service. We took twenty-four prisoners, 
one a commissioned officer, belonging mostly to the 4th 
Louisiana Regiment, of whom fourteen were wounded. 

"Our loss is small, owing mostly to the overshooting of 
the enemy. The casualties are : 

"Killed I 

"Wounded 9 

"Missing 4." 



Writes Capt. Lawrence O'Brien of the Ninth : "I was 
in command of the provost guard of the city, and when 
the battle opened I called in all the details and later 
marched out to the south side of the penitentiary. A 
little beyond. Gen. Williams' body was being removed 
to the rear. Lieut. Henry H. Elliott told me that the 
General being killed, Col. Thomas W. Cahill was in 
command, and asked me if I knew where he was ? I 
pointed out the place." 

Wrote Corporal Peabody of the Fourth Massachuset' " 
battery : "Upon the death of Gen. Williams, Col. Cahill 



122 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

of the Ninth Connecticut regiment assumed command of 
the troops. Col. Dudley remained in command of the 
right wing, while Col. Nickerson of the Fourteenth Maine 
succeeded Col. Cahill in command of the left wing. The 
enemy, after this last repulse, evincing little ambition for 
more slaughter, but contentedly keeping under cover of 
the forest beyond Magnolia cemetery, caused a lull in 
the fight. It was now about 9 o'clock, the troops were 
almost worn out after five hours' desperate fighting, our 
commanding General was dead on the field, the weather 
was intensely hot. 

"In this condition of aftairs, Col. Cahill ordered a new 
line to be formed 200 yards in rear of the first line. The 
enemy seeing this backward move, sprang from his cover, 
but all the batteries opening, he saw that we still intended 
to fight, and fell back again. About 10 a. m.. Col. Cahill 
ordered another move rearward, the troops forming 
line about 350 yards from the enemy. This line extended 
across the city, the gunboats covering our flanks. '^' * 

* As the Union line is now formed, our battery is on 
the left flank, supported by the Fourth Wisconsin regi- 
ment on the left, the Twenty-first Indiana regiment, 
grouped in our rear, and Lieut. Brown's section of mule 
battery extending the left of our line of guns. Stretch- 
ing away to the right for a half mile, and occupying all 
the roads leading east, are the Second and Sixth Massa- 
chusetts batteries, supported by the Fourteenth Maine, 
Seventh Vermont, Sixth Michigan, Thirtieth Massachu- 
setts and Ninth Connecticut regiments, while Magee's 
cavalry is in front closely watching the enemy. * * * 

"Col. Cahill, at his headquarters in a house a few yards 
to the left rear of our battery, is kept well informed of the 
movements of the enemy by Private Ralph O. Rowley, 
of Magee's cavalry, a brave boy only 20 years old. * * 

* Thus ended the battle of Baton Rouge. * "^ * 
With all of their superior force, all veterans of Shilqh, the 
enemv was unable to force our second line, but 350 yards 



IV A J? OF THE REBELLION, 1S61-1865. 123 

in rear of our first. The desperate resistance they met, 
their heavy loss of men, seemed to paralyze all further 
action and they were content to remain at a respectful 
distance, and at night burned the few camps they had 
captured, destroying very little of the vast amount of 
government property in the city." 

The total loss of the Union forces in the battle was 84 
killed, and 374 wounded, — 458. The next day, Aug. 6, 
1862, a force of negroes was put at work burying the 
dead of both sides. 

The wounded of both armies were picked up and taken 
to hospitals in Baton Rouge.

AMONG the Confederates who were captured in the 
battle, just described, were Brig.-Gen. Clark and 
his aide-de-camp, Lieut. Richard C. Yerger. Gen. Clark 
was suffering from a serious wound in the thigh. At 
10.30 a. m., on the day after the engagement, two officers, 
with a flag of truce, came to the headquarters of Col. 
Cahill. They bore the following message from Major- 
Gen. Breckenridge, the Confederate commander : 



Headquarters, Confederate Forces, 

In The Field Near 
Baton Rouge, August 6, 1862. 

To the Commanding Officer of the United States Forces, 
Baton Rouge, La: 
I have sent Major De Bawer, with a flag of truce, with 
the request that he will be allowed to attend to the burial 
of our dead who may have been left in your lines. Major 
Haynes, accompanying, desires to communicate with 
Brigadier-General Charles Clark, that he may supply 
him with money and clothing, and such articles as may 
contribute to his comfort. 

Respectfully, Sir, 

Your Obedient Servant, 
John C. Breckenridge, 
Major General Commanding. 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1 861-1863. 125 

To the foregoing, Col. Cahill thus repHed : 

Headquarters, United States Forces, 

Baton Rouge, August 6, 1862. 

General : In reply to your communication of this morn- 
ing, under a flag of truce, I have the honor to say that 
we are now engaged in the burial of your dead within 
our lines, and that we shall soon finish the now nearly 
accomplished work. General Clark and his aide-de- 
camp, Lieutenant Yerger,have surrendered themselves as 
prisoners of war and are now being cared for by our sur- 
geons. A friend of General Clark, from this city, will 
attend to his pecuniary wants. 

Respectfully, 

Your Obedient Servant, 

Thomas W. Cahill, 
Colonel Commanding. 

To Major General John C. Breckenridge. 



The two Confederate officers, bearing this reply, there- 
upon returned to their lines. Gen. Breckenridge was 
so chagrined at his defeat in the battle that he threw away 
his sword, and the latter was among the trophies of the 
Union forces. 

After the battle of Baton Rouge, Gen. Butler issued 
his ''General Order No. 57," in which he makes special 
allusion to the Irish Ninth in the following paragraph : — 

* * * Michigan stood by Maine, Massachusetts 
supported Indiana, Wisconsin aided Vermont, while Con- 
necticut, represented by the sons of the ever green sham- 
rock, fought as their fathers did at Boyne water. 

Gen. Butler also said: "The Brigade at Baton 
Rouge has routed the enemy. He has lost three briga- 
dier generals killed, wounded, and prisoners ; many 
colonels and field officers. He has more than a thousand 



126 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

killed and wounded. You have captured three pieces of 
artillery, six caissons, two stand of colors, and a large 
number of prisoners. You have buried his dead on the 
field of battle, and are caring for his wounded. You have 
convinced him that you are never so sick as not to fight 
your enemy if he desires the contest. You have shown 
him that if he cannot take an outpost after weeks of 
preparation what would be his fate with the main body. 
If your General should say he was proud of you it would 
only be to praise himself. But he will say he is proud to 
be one of you * * *." 

Aug. II, 1862, the Union forces in Baton Rouge 
began constructing breastworks in expectation of an- 
other attack from the enemy. The line was a half circle 
in form and extended from the river at Bayou Gros to 
the river at the foot of First street. The Fourth Wis- 
consin was on the right, the Ninth Connecticut on the 
left, and the Thirtieth Massachusetts, Fourteenth Maine, 
Seventh Vermont, Twenty-first Indiana and the Second 
and Fourth Massachusetts batteries between. 

Col. Paine, of the Fourth Wisconsin, was in command 
of the whole force, with Colonels Dudley, Nickerson and 
Cahill in command of the right, center, and left, respec- 
tively. That evening the troops witnessed a great illu- 
mination caused by the burning of the mill and other 
structures on Dougherty's plantation, located on the 
Springfield Landing road, and opposite where the Ninth 
Connecticut was stationed. 

Work on the fortifications was vigorously pushed, day 
and night. About 3 o'clock, on the morning of Aug. 13, 
the houses on First street were all set on fire, by order of 
Col. Paine, and were entirely consumed. The removal 
of these houses greatly improved the range for the Union 
fleet in the river At 12.30 p. m., or thereabouts, the long 
roll was sounded, causing the men to leave dinner and get 
in line for an expected attack. Over an hour passed and 
as no enemy appeared, the Ninth Connecticut and other 



WAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 127 

infantry commands stacked arms on the spot, the artillery 
placed their lanyards, sponges, etc., where they could be 
instantly reached, and the men resumed their interrupted 
repast. Most of the houses on First street that had been 
destroyed belonged to the wealthy class, and had been 
vacated by the latter upon leaving the >-ity. Gen. Breck- 
enridge sent word to Col. Paine, Aug. 13, to stop burning 
houses or he — Breckenridge — would attack with the 
"black flag." Col. Paine spiritedly replied that he could 
put in an appearance with his black flag whenever he was 
so disposed, and that the Union forces were ready to give 
him a hot reception. He didn't come. 

In the meantime, Col. Paine had received orders from 
Gen. Butler to evacuate the city. The evacuation began 
about 2 o'clock on the morning of Aug. 18. Teams from 
the quartermaster's department drove into the camp of 
the Ninth and began loading such of the latter's property 
as could then be spared, for transportation to the levee 
from whence it was placed aboard a steamer. Next 
morning, orders were issued for each organization to get 
ready two days' cooked rations, this keeping the cooks of 
the Ninth and other commands very busy. 

Wednesday noon, Aug. 20, the long roll was again 
sounded, the Ninth sprang to arms and quickly took its 
place beside the other organizations. An investigation 
showed that the Union pickets were being driven in by 
the Ninth Louisiana Partisan Rangers, a cavalry com- 
mand. Two companies of the Twenty-first Indiana were 
sent out and, aided by the U. S. S. Mississippi, from the 
river, repulsed the enemy and caused him to retire. 
Thursday^, Aug. 21, the troops began evacuating Baton 
Rouge, and embarking on the steamers. The troops 
were all aboard about 12.45 P- "^i., and the start down the 
river was made soon after. At daybreak, Aug. 22, the 
transport fleet reached Camp Parapet. The Ninth Con- 
necticut and other infantry landed here, while the Second 
and Fourth Massachusetts batteries proceeded further 
down to CarroUton. 



128 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

While the Ninth regiment was again located at Camp 
Parapet, it rendered important out-post duty, and pick- 
eted the shores both up and down the river. On Sept. 7, 
1862, the Ninth, under command of Major Frye, took 
part, with three other regiments, in a movement across 
the river to the neighborhood of St. Charles' Court 
House, to disperse a Confederate camp of 2,000 men re- 
ported to be located there. At daylight on the morning 
of Sept. 8, the Ninth, with the Fourteenth Maine, landed 
and marched westward, the rest of the force proceeding 
half a dozen miles further up. Major Frye's official re- 
port of this affair states : 

"The artillery shelled the woods ; but, failing to dis- 
lodge the enemy, the Ninth Connecticut was thrown for- 
ward as skirmishers. After moving forward several 
miles through woods, swamps, bayous, and canebrakes, 
everywhere finding traces of a flying enemy — abandoned 
haversacks, blankets, bundles, papers, etc. — it was found 
that the enemy, mostly cavalry, attempting to break 
through in this direction, had been driven back, and, 
abandoning their horses, saddles, and equipments, had 
fled into an almost impenetrable swamp. But, being 
surrounded on all sides, our troops killed and wounded 
eight, taking about forty prisoners, and bringing in up- 
wards of two hundred horses ready equipped. This was 
accomplished without loss on our side." 

Stores and considerable other property were likewise 
taken, and the expedition then returned to camp. Soon 
after this, the Ninth was transferred to New Orleans and 
had its quarters in fashionable Lafayette square. Col. 
Cahill had become acting brigadier-general and was 
given command of the military defences of that city. A 
correspondent of the New York Tribune, in one of his 
contributions, states that 'T may be allowed to acknowl- 
edge the services of one of our oldest and best disciplined 
regiments, the Ninth Connecticut, which was the second 
regiment debarked at Ship Island. Col. T. W. Cahill 



IV A J^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 129 

has been for the past year an acting brig-adier-general, 
and is still serving in that capacity." 

"During 1863," says the Croffut-Morris work, "the 
Ninth had its headquarters at New Orleans ; but the regi- 
ment was dismembered, — two companies guarding the 
Mexican-Gulf Railroad and mouth of the Mississippi ; 
one company at Algiers, opposite New Orleans ; four 
companies doing provost-guard duty at New Orleans ; 
and three companies stationed at Pass Manchac, about 
thirty-eight miles above New Orleans, at the water com- 
munication between Lakes Ponchartrain and Maurepas, 
the outer limit of the defenses of New Orleans. 

"Col. Thomas W. Cahill was placed in charge of the 
defenses, and in command of a brigade consisting of the 
Ninth, and three Massachusetts regiments. Lieut. -Col. 
R. Fitz Gibbons was in command of the regiment [the 
Ninth]. Major Frederick Frye commanded Pass Man- 
chac, and the fort there, including a detachment of the 
2ist Indiana. Major Frye wrote at this time: 

"Refugees come in daily, — sometimes as many as a 
dozen at a time, — men, women, and children ; ragged, 
half-starved, and worn down with fatigue. What some 
of the mothers, with babes in their arms, suffer, 
is beyond imagination. Think of a mother and child 
alone two days and nights in a swamp knee-deep, with 
nothing to eat; where snakes, among them the deadly 
moccasin, abound ; where in the daytime the heat is in- 
sufiferable, and at night chilly ; losing her way ; struggling 
through ; and, amid all, more afraid of falling again into 
the enemy's hands than of the surrounding dangers, — 
think of this, and you have but an everyday occurrence. 
And, oh ! with what heartfelt joy she smiles, and nestles 
up her childj when she falls in with a Yankee picket. 
None of the blacks have had a suit of clothes since the 
war broke out ; and what with living in the woods, trav- 
eling nights, escaping rebel pickets, they have but little 
of the manufactured article about them when they reach 
9

our lines. Four have just come, — fair specimens in their 
get-up of a Carnival of Venice. They are the survivors 
of fifteen who started a week ago, and have been in 
woods and swamps, hunted by dogs and rebels ; and, as 
they say, '£><? balance done gcnie squandered.'' " 

Capt. John G. Healy, of the Ninth, performed a dash- 
ing exploit on Lake Ponchartrain on the night of Feb. 3, 
1863. The details are thus given in an account published 
in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Neivs paper, Feb. 14, that year : 

CAPTURE OF A CONTRABANDIST ON LAKE PONCHARTRAIN. 

On the night of the 3d of February as Captain J. G. 
Healy, of the 9th Connecticut volunteers, with three pri- 
vates was picketing the lake, he saw by the moonlight a 
sloop sailing towards Dixie, evidently having come from 
New Orleans. He immediately put ofif with his three 
men, in a boat, and soon pulled up to the strange sail, the 
crew of which fired several shots, some of which came in 
close proximity to Capt. Healy. Running alongside, 
Capt. Healy sprang on board the sloop, and presenting 
his revolver to the head of one of the smugglers, de- 
manded their surrender. Tliey complied with his de- 
mand. When the sloop was brought ashore it was found 
to contain a very valuable cargo of medicines and other 
useful articles. 

When the Union boat was nearing the lugger one of 
the crew was observed to throw a parcel overboard ; it 
was "fished in," and found to contain a number of letters 
from many of the prominent citizens of New Orleans to 
some of the chief rebels. The crew, which consisted of 
two Jews and a Creole, were immediately committed to 
jail, and will be held to give evidence against some of 
those whose letters have been thus captured. The cargo 
is valued at $50,000. 

Another published account gives some additional de- 
tails and reads : 

IMPORTANT ARREST ON LAKE PONCHARTRAIN. 

An important arrest was made on Lake Ponchartrain 
on Saturday night. Capt. John G. Healy, of Co. C, 
Ninth Connecticut Volunteers, commands the post at

WAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 131 

Hickock's Landing. His force consists of two com- 
panies. On the night in question, the captain, being on 
picket duty, got the wink of a party of men who were 
crossing the lake with the intention of running the block- 
ade. He promptly had two boats manned, one of which 
he commanded in person ; the other was in charge of his 
first lieutenant. About six miles from the shore a small 
speck was discovered from the captain's boat, which 
turned out to be the craft he was in pursuit of. 

The stranger had sails set and vans out ; but though 
Capt. Healy's boat had oars alone, he neared the other 
rapidly. There must have been some tall pulling among 
Uncle Samuel's children that night. On reaching hail- 
mg distance, the suspicious boat was hailed two or three 
times ; but, as no answer was elicited, a rifle was fired to 
teach her crew good manners. The bullet, it was after- 
wards ascertained, took effect in the cap of one of the 
men belonging to the rebel boat. It had the effect in- 
tended ; for the boat hove to, and the loyal craft went 
alongside, when there was found on board some $800 
worth of quinine ; about the same value in chloroform ; 
thirteen boxes, containing each two dozen of cotton 
cards ; three boxes of assorted medicines, together with a 
lot of miscellaneous articles, just what the rebels most 
need. 

On one man $400 in money was found. But the best 
part of the prize was a mail-bag containing seventy let- 
ters. The bag was thrown overboard ; but the action 
was seen by Capt. Healy, and, as the water was shallow, 
he had no difficulty in recovering it. The contents of the 
letters have not been made known, of course ; but it is 
said they tend tO' implicate not only persons in New Or- 
leans, but some of the leading men of the North. 

During 1863, a reconnoissance was made of the coun- 
try north of Pass Manchac, several companies of the 
Ninth participating. Two companies were stationed at 
the North Pass, dividing Jones Island from the swamp 
land and road leading to Ponchatoula, and two rifled 
guns were placed in position here, manned by men of the 
Ninth under Capt. John G. Healy. The expedition was 
a success. The enemy lost three killed and eleven 
wounded, and among the prisoners captured were twenty-

two Choctaw Indians, who were taken by a guard, com- 
manded by Capt. Healy, to New Orleans. On Dec. 30th, 
the Ninth was assigned to the Second Brigade of General 
Grover's Division, of the Nineteenth Corps. The regi- 
ment was in the engagement at La Fourche Crossing, 
June, 1863. 

At various periods during the Fall and Winter of 1863, 
detachments of the Ninth "were stationed upon the Gulf, 
along the shores of Lake Borgne, in the defenses at Lake- 
port, Proctorville, and Chalmette, or on the canal and 
railroad ; while a portion was at the north, and a portion 
in Texas with the field signal-corps. * * * During 
this season, five companies, under Lieut. Col. Fitz Gib- 
bon, had a skirmish with the enemy near Terrebonne. 
Company I, Capt. Elliot M. Curtis, was detached to watch 
the crossroads ; while companies G, under Capt. William 
Wright ; C, under Lieut. A. E. Payne ; E, under Lieut. 
T. Fitz Gibbon ; D, under Capt. John G. Healy ; K, 
Capt. Terence Sheridan, were sent out to skirmish through 
the swamp towards Chackahoola [Chattahoola] Station. 
There was a brisk engagement ;but the enemy maintained 
possession. Capt. S. W. Sawyer also made several raids 
into the district to the southeast." 

Lieut. Lawrence O'Brien was promoted to be captain 
of Company D, of the Ninth, Oct. 15, 1862. A month 
previously, he had been wounded in the left hip, while on 
an expedition against guerillas in the Parish of St. 
Charles, La. He was later detailed as provost marshal, 
by Gen Banks, for the Parish of St. James, La. Subse- 
quently, he was appointed provost judge of the Parish 
of St. James, by order of Gen. George F. Shepley, mili- 
tary governor of Louisiana. 

An order, dated New Orleans, Dec. 8, 1862, provided 
that "Sergt. Henry C. Wright, Ninth Connecticut, is 
hereby apointed first lieutenant and quartermaster of the 
Third regiment Native Guards (colored), * * * "

Capt. John Foley, of Company F, of the Ninth, and 
Second Lieut. WilHam H. Carroll, of the same company, 
having tendered their resignations, the same were ac- 
cepted and both officers were honorably discharged the 
service of the United States. The order for their dis- 
charge was issued from Department headquarters. New 
Orleans, Dec. 20, 1862. 

The operations at La Fourche Crossing, La., June 
20-21, 1863, were of a stirring nature. Our troops en- 
countered the enemy and a severe fight ensued, result- 
ing in the foe's discomfiture. The following relates to 
this afifair:

Colonel: 

I have the honor to inform you that this command ar- 
rived here at 8.10 o'clock last night, and, in pursuance of 
instructions, I disembarked a portion of the troops, viz, 
185 men, belonging to the Ninth Connecticut Volunteers. 
Of the remainder, three companies of the Twenty-sixth 
Massachusetts, under the command of Captain Annable, 
were left at Bayou Des Allemands, with instructions 
to guard the bridge and ascertain the character of ap- 
proching trains, and, in case the troops in front were 
forced to fall back, to cover the retreat by obstructing 
the track, and, if necessary, burning the bridge. I have 
communicated with them once during the night by means 
of a hand-car. This neighborhood is all quiet. * * *

Capt. John A. Grow, of the Twenty-fifth New York 
battery, in his report of operations June 20-25, 1863, "''' 
eluding the engagement at La Fourche Crossing, states : 

"On the 20th day of June I received orders to proceed 
at once to La Fourche Crossing. The order having been 
received at about 4 p. m., my battery, with all the bag- 
gage, was taken across the river and put on board the 
cars by i a. m. (night) ; the train left at 4 a. m. On reach- 
ing Boutte Station, I found Colonel Cahill stationed at 
that place with his [command]. He ordered me to leave 



JVAJ^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 135 

one section of my battery with him, and to proceed my- 
self with the other section to the La Fourche Crossing. 
I reached that place about 10 a. m. of the 21st. My 
battery was soon unloaded and the pieces parked. * * 

Speaking of the engagement that ensued, Capt. Grow 
mentions the men who served one of his pieces of artil- 
lery and says they "behaved most gallantly — so much so, 
I have mentioned them in my report to Colonel Cahill." 
Capt. Grow continues ;'**** The next forenoon 
was occupied with a flag of truce, which the enemy sent 
up asking the privilege of burying his dead. While this 
was pending, Colonel Cahill arrived with his forces. We 
were then about 1,100 strong, and, through the strength 
of our position, we could efifectually defend our position 
against 2,000 rebels. The arrival of Colonel Cahill was 
distinctly seen by the rebels, and that night they com- 
menced to retreat." 

Writing from Boutte Station, La., June 22, 1863, Capt. 
John G. Healy, of the Ninth, remarks : "As is well known 
in this department, a large portion of the forces of Gen. 
Banks are, at the present time, near the Confederate 
stronghold Port Hudson. The fact that Banks had sent 
nearly all the troops that had been stationed at the dif- 
ferent villages and plantations, between New Orleans and 
Springfield Landing, to attack the rebel stronghold just 
mentioned soon became knowm to rebel sympathizers. 
A few thousand Confederates succeeded in making their 
way to some of the weakened points, and had destroyed 
four of our transports at a place called La Fourche Cross- 
ing. Most of the rebels being mounted, proved very 
troublesome to our small forces of infantry left to garrison 
those places. 

"For some days rumors had been current in New Or- 
leans that a large body of the enemy was in the rear of 
our forces at Brashear City, that it had captured two or 
three of our companies and was on its way to New 



136 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Orleans. This report caused much excitement in the 
latter place, especially among the soldiers. As a result of 
the report, an order was issued that all the officers, in and 
around the city, should hold themselves in readiness to 
move at a moment's notice. On Saturday the order came 
for us to move, and to take two days' cooked rations. 
Five companies of the Ninth, C, E, G, I, and K, were to 
go in addition to the Twenty-sixth Massachusetts regi- 
ment and a New York battery. We crossed the Missis- 
sippi river, on the ferry boat, to Algiers, and about dark 
went aboard the cars. Officers and men were in excellent 
spirits and eager to meet the foe. 

"We fully expected to encounter him in a short time. 
We reached Boutte Station about 9.30 that night and 
were ordered to remain at the Station, while the Massa- 
chusetts regiment and the New York battery were sent 
a few miles further on. After disembarking from the cars, 
my company was sent out on picket duty, as was also 
Company G. About daylight the next morning, a train 
came down from La Fourche with some 500 negroes and 
a few prisoners. Soon after this, I advanced my com- 
pany about two miles further on. We very soon discov- 
ered a body of cavalry approaching. When they came 
nearer, however, we found they were friends instead of 
foes. They proved to be one company of the First Texas 
cavalry coming to re-enforce us. 

"Soon, I was ordered to advance my company to the 
levee, a distance of some four miles from the headquar- 
ters. ]t was now raining very hard. The rain came down 
in torrents and by the time we reached the river, we were 
drenched to the skin. We were fortunate, however, in 
getting comfortable quarters. About midnight an orderly 
came to me and reported that the rebels had been suc- 
cessful and were on their way to encounter our force. The 
men were aroused and were soon ready for whatever 
might happen. We remained up until daylight, expect- 
ing an attack every moment, but none came." 



IV A I^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1865. 137 

Writing under date of NeAV Orleans, June 29, 1863, 
Capt. John G. Healy gives the foHowing account of 
events that transpired about the time he wrote the fore- 
going: "About 5 o'clock on the morning of June 21, we 
received information that we were to proceed many miles 
up the railroad for the purpose of re-enforcing the troops 
at La Fourche Crossing. As soon as possible, we had 
all the darkeys on the plantation busy harnessing mules 
and hitching them to the large wagons which are always 
to be found on a plantation. The roads were very 
muddy, it having rained the day and night previously, 
and the distance from where my company was stationed 
to the Colonel's quarters was five miles. We, therefore, 
jumped into the wagons and started. When we arrived, 
however, we found the place deserted. All the soldiers 
and citizens had suddenly left, with the exception of two 
members of the New York battery who had been left at 
the Station, by Col. Cahill, with orders for me to put my 
command on the next train and join him at La Fourche. 
In a short time we were aboard the cars and speeding 
away. 

"In two hours time, we arrived near La Fourche and 
upon our arrival, were received with cheers. All was 
excitement. Negroes were constructing breastworks, the 
cause of which I soon learned. There had been a fight 
the night before, and right before me lay dead and 
wounded. A flag of truce came in from the enemy for 
permission to bury their dead and carry off their 
wounded. I learned that our troops had been attacked 
the previous night by a largely superior force. In the 
afternoon of the day of my arrival, we formed line of 
battle twice, the enemy's cavalry being seen prowling 
around. It was expected they would make an attack, but 
they did not. W^e were up twice that night and, so, had 
very little rest. About 12 o'clock the same night, the 
enemy opened fire with artillery to which our gunners 
replied. The enemy's firing, as we afterward learned. 



138 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

was only to cover their retreat. The next morning four 
companies of the Ninth were ordered to make a recon- 
noissance up the railroad and to ascertain, if possible, the 
position of the enemy. 

"We started about noon, and after marching about six 
miles we entered the village of Terrebonne. We learned 
that a strong force of the enemy had passed through there 
early that m.orning. Company K, of our regiment, was 
stationed here while the three remaining companies, C, 
E, and I, proceeded. We had gone some four miles when 
the advance guard captured five rebels. Finding that the 
enemy was in force, a few miles further on, we returned. 
We were disturbed by a false alarm that night, and the 
next morning the five companies of our regiment were 
ordered on board the cars. We were instructed to pro- 
ceed up the road as far as we could in order to protect 
the men while they were repairing the road. We, accord- 
ingly, went about two miles further than we had the 
previous day, and learned that the rebels had set fire to 
a bridge and that it would take some time to repair it. 
We sent out an advance guard which had proceeded but 
a short distance when the enemy opened lire. Tlie day 
was intensely hot. 

"I was ordered to take my company to the support of 
the advance guard. As we came in sight of the rebels 
they opened a brisk lire upon us. It was speedily returned 
by our men.' The enemy's bullets fell thick around us. 
The rebels had the advantage of us, as they were fighting 
from behind the cover of the houses, while our men were 
on the railroad track. Very soon after we entered the 
fight, one of my men was shot through the side, the ball 
entering the front, nearly under the arm, and coming out 
at the back. The wounded man was Ernest Dresher. A 
braver man never carried a musket. He loaded and fired 
twice after he was shot. In a few seconds, another of my 
men, George Robinson, was shot through the ami. The 

1 This was the engagement of Chattahoola Station, La. 



tVAJi OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1S63. 139 

poor fellow had fine courage, and walked two miles with- 
out assistance. Immediately after Robinson was hit, 
Frank Judge of my company was shot. He was standing 
near me, firing as fast as he could, when a ball struck 
him. It went through his left arm and entered his side 
where it now is. The poor fellow was in terrible pain. 
A member of Company E, of the Ninth, was also 
wounded. The order was now given for us to fall back, 
as the enemy was advancing with a large force. We 
boarded the cars and returned to La Fourche Crossing." 

Under date of "New Orleans, La., June 27, 1863, 
Lieut. Col. Fitz Gibbon of the Ninth, makes the follow- 
ing report : 

"General : I have the honor to submit the following 
report of the movements of Companies C, E, G, I, and K, 
of the Ninth Regiment of Connecticut Volunteers, or- 
dered to guard a train while repairing the track on the 
New Orleans, Opelousas and Great Western Railroad : 

"Left La Fourche Crossing at 8 a. m. on the 24th June, 
1863. Arrived at Terrebonne Station, distance 4 miles; 
detached Company I, Capt. Elliot M.Curtis, commanding, 
to watch the crossroads leading into the place ; repaired 
the track one mile beyond the last-named station; then 
proceeded toward Chattahoola Station ; arrived at a point 
within one mile of the station, where we found a bridge 
burning; commenced rebuilding this bridge. Between 
the bridge and the station was a very heavy swamp, both 
sides of the track, thickly wooded. 

"I immediately sent out Captain Wright, Company G, 
to skirmish up toward the station, together with Lieu- 
tenant Payne, Company C ; Lieutenant McKeon, Com- 
pany E ; and Lieutenant Fitz Gibbon, with a sufficient 
force, to support him. On arriving within sight of the 
station, a very sharp fire was opened upon our forces, 
which was briskly returned. I then ordered up Com- 
pany C, Capt. John G. Healy, and also Company E, Capt. 



I40 NINTH REGIMENT CONN VOL. INFANTRY. 

Terence Sheridan ; Company K, Capt. Thomas Healy, 
and part of Company G, were kept in reserve. My forces 
being obH^ed to confine their operations to the railroad 
track, the enemy being posted in considerable force in an 
open country in front, under cover of some small build- 
ings and fences, I considered it prudent to^ return after 
engaging him one hour ; I also heard the gun fired from 
the La Fourche Crossing as a signal to return. 

"Sergt. Peter Donnelly and Private Charles Reynolds, 
of Company C, were taken prisoners of war, and on the 
26th of June, 1863, were paroled at La Fourche Cross- 
ing, La. Our loss was 3 wounded. 



"We arrived at Raceland at daylight next morning, 
where we halted until the afternoon of the 25th instant, 
when we were ordered to take a train of cars for Algiers, 
and the same night reached Lafayette Square, our former 
quarters, where we now are." 



Major Frye, of the Ninth, thus describes some of the 
drawbacks at Pass Manchac ; "The moccasins and rattle- 
snakes are quite abundant, and apparently old settlers, as 
we killed one with nine rattles. They are quite a pro- 
tection against a flank movement of the enemy through 
the swamp ; and alligators actually stick their noses into 
the tents, in hopes of stealing a biscuit or a piece of pork. 
And then, all night long, the soldier is lulled to sleep by 
the most infernal croaking of tree toads, and kept asleep 
by the buzzing and biting of myriads of mosquitoes and 
yellow flics. One knows not how it is ; but though every 
soldier has a mosquito-bar ; still, daylight will find as 
many inside as out ; and then innumerable green lizards 
about four inches long, harmless but sportive, gambol 
and catch flies and mosquitoes freelv upon your face and 
body."

A staff officer tells the following amusing incident of 
the Ninth's stay in New Orleans : "The Ninth was quar- 
tered in Lafayette square; and a soldier whom we will 
call Phil McGilligan, an old timer, was on sentry on the 
Camp street side of the square, when a strange looking 
nondescript came sauntering along. He wore a stove- 
pipe hat, a military coat with the insignia of a brigadier 
embroidered on the shoulder straps. His pantaloSns of 
black cloth were some six inches too short, which dis- 
played a well-worn stagy boot and was quite innocent of 
blacking. He carried a blue cotton umbrella which was 
carefully tucked under his left arm. I should say here 
that his coat was worn open with the collar turned down. 
In passing McGilligan, the brigadier noticed the sentinel 
paid no attention to him. The general passed and re- 
passed ; still receiving no attention, he confronted the 
sentinel in a mild manner, exclaiming proudly, 'Soldier, 
don't you know me ?' McGilligan eyed him quizzically,' 
and at once replied, 'No ! Who are you anyway ?' 

"With this the general's face flushed with indignation 

and he yelled forth, 'Sentrv, I am General of the 

State of Maine.' " 

"Thereupon McGilligan gave a prolonged whistle and 
replied: 'The devil ye are. I think I've heard of ye be- 
fore. So ye are the rale Maine man. Gineral, if ye are 
a gineral, take my advice and get awav for the Ninth 
C. V.' 

"The general, believing the man to be a lunatic, bolted 
away, highly indignant, and turned on his heel with a 
firm determination of reporting the entire transaction to 
the commanding general. However, on his way to 
headquarters he met the major of the Ninth, who by the 
way knew how to enjoy a joke as well as any man. 

"The general button-holed the major and repeated the 
entire transaction. The major was somewhat of a wag; 
slipping his arm under the irate brigadier, he led him' 
away, saying, 'Never mind. General, let us go over to the 



142 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Park House and take a good cocktail. We will try and 
forget the unfortunate occurrence, and as there is but one 
man living who can do anything with them, that is Gen- 
eral B. F. Butler, T would not say anything further about 
it.' 

"When the major proposed the cocktail the general's 
eyes fairly snapped — flashing fire as it were. Breaking 
loose from the major, he exclaimed, 'What, sir, add in- 
sult on insult ; do you fail to remember that I am an ad- 
vocate of the Maine liquor law and for sixty years of my 
life I am been fighting the devil ? Yes sir, I believe the 
Ninth are all devils, from the colonel down to McGilli- 
gan.' 

"The case was reported to the commanding general, but 
as nothing was ever heard of it afterward the major and 
McGilligan kept quiet about the Maine law advocate." 

Special Order, No. 304, Department of the Gulf, issued 
at New Orleans, Aug. 26, 1862, read as follows: "The 
resignation of Rev. Daniel Mullen, chaplain of the Ninth 
regiment, Connecticut Volunteers, is hereby accepted, to 
take effect from this date, and he is honorably discharged 
from the service." (By order of Major-Gen. Butler). 
Chaplain Mullen resigned because of poor health. 

Special Order, No. 351, Department of the Gulf, dated 
at New Orleans, Sept. 5, 1862, provided that "Acting 
Brigadier-General Thos. W. Cahill will detail one or two 
mounted orderlies, as may be necessary, to be stationed 
at the telegraph office at Carrollton to take messages 
when they arrive." (By order of Major-Gen. Butler). 
Special Order, No. 387, New Orleans, Sept. 18, 1862, 
read: "Brig.-Gen. T. W. Sherman, U. S. Volunteers, 
having reported for duty, is assigned to the command of 
the force near Carrollton. Acting Brig.-Generals Dud- 
ley, Paine and Cahill will report to him."

The following budget of Regimental Orders issued to

OFFICERS AND MEN WHO DIED THAT YEAR — THREE

BULLET and shell, bayonet thrust and sabre cut 
are not the only perils with which a soldier in active 
service has to contend. There are many others, in- 
cluding that fruitful source of death in a regiment — dis- 
ease. Thousands of officers and men in the Civil war 
went through battle unscathed, only to perish of sickness 
contracted in camp or on the march. 

The Ninth lost heavily in this respect. The terrible 
conditions prevailing in the swamps at Vicksburg, Miss., 
and other places cost the regiment sorely. Many brave 
fellows who left Connecticut in excellent health and spirits 
never came back, but perished of disease in camp or hos- 
pital, and their bones now lie in Chalmette, La., or other 
places in the South. But they died for their country just 
as truly as if they had fallen in the forefront of battle. 

The following is a list of the officers and men of the 
Ninth who died^ in the single year, 1862. The list does 
not include those killed in that year. Those are referred 
to elsewhere. The greater portion of the following list- 
perished of disease contracted in the service, a few of 
wounds.

Of the foregoing- we may say, in the words of Theodore 
O'Hara: 

" The muffled drum's sad roll has beat 

The soldier's last tattoo ; 
No more on life's parade shall meet 

That brave and fallen few. 
On fame's eternal camping ground 

Their silent tents are spread, 
And glory guards, with solemn round, 

The bivouac of the dead. 

" No rumor of the foe's advance, 

Now swells upon the wind ; 
No' troubled thoughts at midnight haunts 

Of loved ones left behind ; 
No vision of the morrow's strife 

The warrior's dream alarms ; 
No braying horn nor screaming fife 

At dawn shall call to arms. 



" The neighing troop, the flashing blade, 

The bugle's stirring blast; 
The charge, the dreadful cannonade. 

The din and shout are passed ; 
Nor war's wild note nor glory's peal 

Shall thrill with fierce delight 
Those breasts that nevermore may feel 

The rapture of the fight." 

As will be seen from the foregoing list, the Ninth lost 
three lieutenants, by death, in 1862, namely: Lieut. Fred- 
erick M. Fairchild, of Company K, who died July 21 ; 
Lieut. Henry McKenna, of Company C, Sept. 24; and 
Lieut. Patrick T. Clafifee, of Company C, Oct. 5. Lieut. 
Claffee was of Waterbury. His body was brought home 
and was honored with a military funeral, a great con- 
course following the remains to the place of interment, — 
St. Joseph's cemetery. The body of Lieut. McKenna 
was brought home to New Haven and also interred with 
impressive exercises. 



JVAJ^ OF THE REBELLION, 1 861-1863. 153 

Regimental Order No. 49 was issued to the Ninth, Jan.

ant adjutant of the brigade commanded by Col. Cahill, 
Second Lieutenant John C. Curtis, of Company G, is

CHAPTER X. 

THE NINTH RECEIVERS MANY SOLDIERS WHO HAD SERVED 
UNDER GEN. TWIGGS A HIGH TRIBUTE TO THE REGI- 
MENT FROM GEN. BUTLER — IMPORTANT MOVEMENTS 
IN WHICH OFFICERS AND MEN OF THE NINTH PAR- 
TICIPATE — DEATH OF CORPORAL JOHN P. COEN OF 
WATERBURY — A CAPTURE BY SERGEANT PHILIP 
REILLY VARIOUS ORDERS TO THE REGIMENT. 

THE NINTH had received a number of accessions 
to its ranks in New Orleans, mainly in 1862. 
Many of those thus enlisting had served in the old Regu- 
lar army under Gen. David E. Twiggs. The latter was a 
native of Georgia, and entered the service as captain in 
1812. He became a major of infantry in the year 1814, 
and in 1836 was a colonel of dragoons. 

He commanded a brigade in the war with Mexico and 
rendered distinguished service at the battles of Palo Alto 
and Resaca de la Palma. On June 30, 1846, he became 
a brigadier general and for gallantry at Monterey was 
breveted major general. He had command of a division, 
under Scott, in 1847 ^"^ the next year he was made civil 
and military governor of Vera Cruz. Early in 1861, 
Twiggs was in command of the U. S. troops in the De- 
partment of Texas, and betrayed his trust, thus blighting 
his long and honorable military career. On Feb. 16, 
1861, he treacherously surrendered to the Confederate 
authorities in Texas, all the U. S. troops in that State, 
numbering about 2,500, together with the stores and 
munitions of war valued at $1,200,000. He also sur- 
rendered the forts in his Department. He was forthwith 
dismissed "from the Army of the United States for 
treachery to the fiag of his country." 



IV A J? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 16 1 

He was given a position of prominence in the Confed- 
erate army and was, for a time, in command of the rebel 
forces in New Orleans. He resigned this place late in 
1 861. The U. S. troops whom he had betrayed into the 
hands of the Confederates in Texas remained loyal to the 
Union, as did most of their officers. They were allowed 
to leave Texas. Some of them subsequently enlisted into 
the Ninth Connecticut and were the accessions referred 
to above. 

Gen. Butler pays the following tribute to the Ninth : 

■'When I occupied New Orleans I wanted to encamp a 
regiment in Lafayette Square, a small park in the centre 
of the city. The streets around it were inhabited by the 
best families. I chose the Ninth Connecticut. They re- 
mained in camp about three months, and so well did they 
conduct themselves that when I was about to move them 
elsewhere and put another regiment in their stead, * * 

* I had a very large petition presented to me of all 
the neighbors of their camp to have them remain. Their 
conduct was so exemplary, their care of the children who 
went to play in the park so tender and kind, that the in- 
habitants hoped that I would allow them to stay, as they 
did not think I could send them another regiment that 
would please them so well." 

In another place, referring to this incident, Gen. Butler 
says : 'T told them I had none better, but I thought I 
had one as good, so the order was executed. But the 
Irishmen of the Ninth Connecticut were like the Irishmen 
in all armies in all countries, very excellent soldiers." 

Corporal John P. Coen, of Company F, was accident- 
ally killed May 2"/, 1863, at Kennerville, La. His death 
cast a gloom over the company by every member of 
which he was highly esteemed. He belonged in Water- 
bury, Ct., and had enlisted Sept. 16, 1861. The circum- 
stances attending his death were as follows : He and his 
company were ordered to proceed into New Orleans. 



1 62 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

On May 26, 1863, with a detachment of ten men he went 
to the city, the rest of the company expecting to go the 
day following. In the meantime, however, the order was 
countermanded and the detachment in the city was 
ordered to return. They accordingly left New Orleans 
May 27. The train stopped for a short time at Kenner- 
ville and Corporal Coen and a number of others got ofif 
for a little exercise and to rest themselves. Suddenly, 
the train started and while the Corporal was attempt- 
ing to get aboard, he slipped and fell outside the track, 
striking on his head. Death resulted. When his 
brother, Corporal Michael P. Coen, of the same company, 
received information of the fatality, he was twenty-seven 
miles away, but immediately started for the scene and 
took charge of the body. The latter was conveyed to 
New Orleans and given a soldier's burial at Chalmette. 
A braver, truer defender of the Union never lived than 
Corporal John P. Coen. 

An ofihcer of Company C, of the Ninth, kept a mem- 
orandum of the company's movements during the war. 
A few extracts therefrom are here given : 

"Oct. 31, 1862, to Dec. 31, 1862. The company has 
been constantly with its regiment since last muster until 
Dec. 4, '62, when the company Avas ordered on detached 
service to Lake End, La. On Dec. 13, one sergeant and 
twelve privates went aboard the U. S. gunboat New 
London and proceeded to Furnier and Madisonville on an 
expedition against guerrillas. Returned Dec. 15, after 
driving in the pickets of the enemy. 

"Dec. 31, 1862, to Feb. 28, 1863. The company has 
been on detached service since last muster at Lake End ; 
made several important captures of parties attempting to 
run the blockade. 

"April 30, 1863, to June 30, 1863. On May 26 this 
company was sent to New Orleans for special duty ; re- 
mained there till June ; thence proceeded, with four other 




Corporal John P. Coen.

IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1 861-1865. 163 

companies of the Ninth, on an expedition to Bonita Sta- 
tion, La. ; remained there until June 22 ; proceeded thence 
to Bayou La Fourche where the company had a brisk 
engagement with the enemy ; three men wounded. The 
expedition then returned to New Orleans. 

"Aug. 31, 1863, to Oct. 31, 1863. The company in La- 
fayette Square, New Orleans, since last muster. One 
sergeant and eight men were detailed to serve on Signal 
Corps by Special Order No. 181, Headquarters, Depart- 
ment of the Gulf. One sergeant, two corporals and eight 
men sent North as guard to prisoners, by Orders 193-203, 
Headquarters, Second Brigade, Fourth Division. Lieut. 
Payne on detached service." 

Sergt. Philip Reilly, of Company E, modestly narrates 
an incident in which he participated. Li the winter of 
1863, he was in command of a detachment of his com- 
pany, stationed at Bay St. John. One evening while out 
reconnoitering with Corporal Ryan, the two heard an 
unusual sound. Listening intently, they became satisfied 
that it was caused by heavy wagons. Sergt. Ryan and 
his companion concealed themselves until the wagons had 
reached a point opposite, when they sprang from their 
hiding place and sternly called to the drivers to "Halt 
and surrender!" The demand was promptly complied 
with. An investigation disclosed the fact, that the Ser- 
geant and his friend had captured two heavily laden 
wagons with three able-bodied men in charge. "The 
next step," writes Sergt. Reilly, "was to decide what 
to do with our prisoners. We reached a decision 
promptly, and took them to Lakeport, a distance of about 
three miles over a lonely road. As we had nothing but 
our side arms, we had to be very watchful. After reach- 
ing Lakeport, we awoke Capt. Sheridan, and turned over 
to him our prisoners and the wagons. The contents of 
the latter proved to be quite valuable and consisted of 
medicine, clothing and whiskey intended for the Con- 
federates across the Lake." 



1 64 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Sergt. Reilly, just mentioned, while in command, in 
March, 1863, of an outpost at Bayou St. John, partici- 
pated in the capture of a blockade nmner. She had 
aboard a large quantity of goods, including over $2,000,- 
000 in Confederate paper money which was being taken 
to Richmond for the signature of the Confederate treas- 
urer. The bills had been made in Europe and brought 
to New Orleans by rebel sympathizers. 

When Gen. Beauregard's wife died in New Orleans, 
her brother and some other relatives called upon Gen. 
Banks. They spoke to him concerning the funeral ar- 
rangements, and explained that if a sympathetic demon- 
stration took place, they would not be responsible in case 
of a clash with U. S. troops. Gen. Banks referred the 
callers to the provost marshal. Gen. James Bowen. The 
latter called in Capt. Lawrence O'Brien, of the Ninth, 
and introducing him to the delegation, left them to com- 
plete the arrangements for the funeral. It was decided 
that the presence of troops would not be necessary. On 
the day of the funeral, Capt. O'Brien, in full uniform, 
rode in an open carriage with a relative of Mrs. Beaure- 
gard, from the house to the cathedral. A requiem High 
Mass was celebrated at the latter place. Every seat in 
Ihe cathedral was occupied, and the vast concourse inside 
and out, evidenced by their presence the esteem in which 
the deceased lady was held. Capt. O'Brien also accom- 
panied the funeral cortege from the cathedral to the 
steamboat and so on to where the interment took place. 

An officer of the Ninth, writing in March, 1863, from 
Pass Manchac, Lake Maurepas, La., gives the following 
interesting accounts of some events then transpiring: 
"For several days past arrangements had been made for 
an expedition across Lake Maurepas. This was, as far 
as I am able to ascertain, to annoy the enemy by making 
an attack on whatever Confederate forces might be sta- 
tioned at the dififerent villages along the neighboring 
rivers. By so doing, the rebels would be obliged to send 



IVAJ? OF THE REBELLION, i86i-i86s. 165 

re-enforcements from Port Hudson to the several sta- 
tions, thus weakening that point. By this means, the 
capture of Port Hudson, by Farragut's fleet and Banks' 
forces, would be assisted. At 9 o'clock on the morning 
of March 22, the Second New York zouaves, numbering 
about 400 men, arrived at the Lake and were immedi- 
ately ordered to embark on board several schooners that 
were in waiting. A 12-pounder rifled gun was placed 
aboard one of the schooners, and a similar gun on a 
steamer present. These guns were manned by men of 
Companies C and F, of the Ninth, all imder the charge 
of Lieut. Payne. A U. S. yacht and the gunboat 
Baritaria, being short of men, a call was made for some 
from our regiment which call was complied with, and the 
order was given to start. 

"I asked permission to accompany the expedition, the 
same was granted and by invitation of Capt. Spear I went 
aboard the yacht just mentioned. About noon, the gun- 
boat got under way and started for a station where the 
captain had been ordered to conmiunicate with Col. Clark 
of the Sixth Michigan regiment who was to march up the 
Jackson railroad to Pass Manchac. The remainder of 
the fleet followed. We had a very rough passage across 
the lake. The schooners rolled and tossed and even the 
steamer mentioned had a hard time of it. One of her 
smokestacks was blown down. The boys seemed to enjoy 
the trip, however, the zouaves rendering their favorite war 
songs during the passage. We arrived off Pass Manchac 
about 5 p. m., and there found Col. Clark with detach- 
ments of the Sixth Michigan, Twenty-fourth Maine, 
Fourteenth Maine and one company of the 177th New 
York. The fleet anchored for the night. 

"The N. Y. Zouaves commenced landing on the morn- 
ing of March 23, and marched up the railroad. Soon 
there was an encounter with rebel pickets and one man 
was killed at this point. The rebels fled. Our troops 
found two schooners, loaded with cotton, and took a 



i66 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

number of prisoners. About 4 o'clock March 23, the 
remainder of our troops were conveyed up the river and 
landed at WadesborO' that evening. Skirmishers were 
thrown out and soon discovered the rebel pickets. There 
was sharp firing on both sides, the rebels falling back. 
Our forces occupied Wadesboro and Ponchatoula, La., 
March 24, secured the telegraph station, postofifice and 
commissary house, burned the rebel camp, and secured 
a number of rifles, swords, etc. TwO' companies were 
sent out to destroy the bridge between Ponchatoula and 
Camp Moore. 

"During the engagement with the enemy, there were 
wounded on our side Capt. Dodge and three men of the 
177th New York and three of the New York Zouaves. 
On the rebel side, their commander and about a dozen 
men were wounded and one man killed." 

On Dec. 6, 1863, Capt. John G. Healy and Lieut. John 
Carroll, with Company C, of the Ninth, were sent to Com- 
pany Canal, La., where was stationed a battalion of cav- 
alry, comprising 250 negro soldiers and ten white officers. 
The negro soldiers were committing depredations and ter- 
rorizing the whites in and about that section of country. 
Their officers had no control over them. Company C, of 
the Ninth, was kept under cover while Capt. Healy re- 
ported to the commanding officer of the cavalry battalion 
and agreed with him upon a plan of action. This under- 
standing reached, Capt. Healy was introduced to the 
negro troops as an "inspecting officer." The ceremony 
was forthwith begun. During the inspection of quarters, 
the negroes were ordered to place their sabres in their 
tents, and then to parade for inspection of uniforms. At 
a signal to Lieut. Carroll, Company C was quietly 
brought to the rear of the tents, unperceived by the 
negroes. Suddenly, the company, with bayonets fixed 
and guns loaded, was moved to a position in front of the 
tents, thus rendering it impossible for the negroes to re- 



JVAA' OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863 167 

gain possession of their sabres. The rebelHous cavalry 
thus disarmed and foiled were marched to Fort Banks 
and kept there till next day when a steamer arrived and 
the prisoners, by order of Gen. Reynolds, were placed on 
board. The spirit of ugliness was completely taken out 
of them. Capt. Healy remained in command of Fort 
Banks several days. On Dec. 22, Company C returned 
to New Orleans. 

Following is another budget of orders issued, at New 
Orleans, to the Ninth, by Lieut. Col. Fitz Gibbon : 

July 6, 1863. "Commandants of companies will imme- 
diately take steps to have their unserviceable tents con- 
demned by proper authority." 

July 9, 1863. "In compliance with Special Order No. 
118, Headquarters Second Brigade, Second Division, I 
hereby assume command of all convalescents now in La- 
fayette Square, and all others who may hereafter be 
ordered to report. First Lieutenant Addis E. Payne, of 
Company C. and Second Lieutenant Andrew Cole, of 
Company K, are hereby ordered to take charge of said 
convalescents. They will be immediately organized into 
companies, at the maximum strength, and will, until fur- 
ther orders, be considered as part of the regiment. Such 
of them as are without arms and accoutrements will be 
immediately supplied with such by Lieutenant Corbin 

* * * The officers detailed to command these men 
will be held responsible for their good conduct and disci- 
pHne." 

July II, 1863. "First Sergeant Charles W. Alcott, of 
Company I, is hereby relieved of the command of paroled 
Confederate prisoners, stationed at Lafayette Square, and 
also of that of the negroes there employed. Second Ser- 
geant J. T. Piatt, of Company K, is hereby appointed to

July 30, 1863. "William H. Andrews, Corporal, Com-

Private Michael King, of Company K, this regiment, is 
detailed as orderly at Regimental headquarters. * * " 

Aug. 25, 1863. "Sergeant Eben B. Evarts, of Com- 
pany E, is hereby transferred to Company F and ap- 
pointed first sergeant of said company. Private John 
Hurlbert [Hulbert], of Company C, is hereby transferred 
to Company F and appointed second sergeant of said 
company. They will be obeyed and respected accordingly. 
The commandants of Companies E and C will furnish the 
above named sergeants with their descriptive lists, and 
account of pay and clothing, immediately." 

Aug. 25, 1863. "The Ninth regiment will be mustered 
for pay on Monday, August 31. Commandants of com- 
panies will see that every man is present, in full marching 
order, and able to undergo a very strict inspection. The 
companies at present stationed in Lafayette Square will

tered at 10 o'clock in the rear of U. S. Barracks. Com- 
panies A and H, stationed on the Mexican Gulf railroad,

from New Orleans." 

Sept. 17, 1863. "The regular monthly inspection of 
this regiment will commence on the 25th inst. The regi- 
ment will be inspected by Lieut. H. K. Oliver, A. A. Li- 
spector-General of the brigade. The inspection will com-

CHAPTER XI. 

CONFEDERATE PLOT TO RECAPTURE NEW ORLEANS — 
THE NINTH MENTIONED AS AMONG THE DEFENDERS 

OF THE CITY THE ENGAGEMENTS AT PASS MANCHAC 

AND BAYOU DES ALLEMANDS LIST OF DEATHS IN 

THE NINTH DURING 1863 AND 1864 — VETERAN FUR- 
LOUGH OF THE REGIMENT — A GREAT RECEPTION IN 
NEW HAVEN. 

EARLY in January, 1864, the Confederates were con- 
sidering" a plot to recapture New Orleans. A 
rebel ofificer, Co. T. J. Reid, Jr., of the Twelfth Arkansas, 
wrote to President Davis of the Confederacy, submitting 
a plan for the retaking of the city. 

Reid had been a prisoner in the hands of the United 
States authorities since the fall of Port Hudson until Dec. 
4, 1863, and had been kept in New Orleans. While 
thus a prisoner there, he had acquired information as to 
the strength and location of the Union forces within the 
city and much other information of value regarding the 
defences of the city. He mentions the Ninth Connecti- 
cut as among the defenders of the place. He unfolds his 
plans, in detail, to Davis and displays great confidence 
in the meditated undertaking. He mentions "six large 
regiments" of Confederates as have been organized "even 
under the presence of the enemy" and states that these 
would co-operate in the projected uprising. Thus, while 
New Orleans was being attacked by Confederates from the 
outside, these "six large regiments" of rebels would create 
a diversion inside the city by cutting the telegraph, seiz- 
ing the arsenal, capturing the general officers, etc. But 
this plan so carefully considered was never carried out. 

In the engagements at Pass Manchac and Bayou des 
Allemands, La., in 1864, additional glory was reflected 



IV A I? OF THE REBELLION, i86i-iUs. 173 

upon the Ninth by the gallantry displayed in conflicts 
with the enemy. 

On Jan. 31, 1864, the Ninth formed part of a provi- 
sional brigade, in the Department of the Gulf, the other 
organizations in the brigade being the Twelfth Maine 
(four companies), and the One Hundred and Seventy- 
sixth New York, the whole being commanded by Col. 
William K. Kimball. 

On Feb. 15, 1864, a reorganization of the Nineteenth 
Corps was announced by which the Ninth Connecticut 
and the Thirteenth Connecticut were assigned to the Sec- 
ond Division, by order of Gen. Banks. 

Gen. Banks, who had succeeded Gen. Butler in com- 
mand of the Department of the Gulf, was a native of Wal- 
tham, Mass., and was born Jan. 30, 1816. He became 
a lawyer, a prominent Democrat, and at one time edited 
a newspaper. During the administration of President 
Polk, Banks held a position in the Boston Custom house, 
and in 1849 was a member of the state legislature of 
Massachusetts, being speaker of the lower branch of that 
body in 1851-52. In 1853, he was president of the State 
Constitutional Convention. In 1853-57, he was a mem- 
ber of Congress, and separated from the Democratic 
party. He was speaker of the National House of Repre- 
sentatives in 1855, was elected governor of Massachu- 
etts in 1858, and served until 1861. When the war broke 
out, he was president of the Illinois Central railroad. He 
offered his services to President Lincoln, was commis- 
sioned a major general of volunteers in May, 1861, and 
was given command of the Annapolis military district. 
He displayed great ability during the war, and in 1865 
was again elected to Congress. 

Gen. Thomas Williams, in whose forces the Ninth 
served at the battle of Baton Rouge, was born in New 
York, 1816. He graduated at West Point, in 1837, and 
became assistant professor of mathematics there. From 
1844 to 1850, he was an aid to Gen. Scott, and rendered 



174 ^I^TH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

gallant service in the war with Mexico. In Sept., i86i, 
he was commissioned brigadier general of volunteers and 
commanded, at one time, the forts at Hatteras. 

While Capt. O'Brien was provost marshal and judge 
of the Parish of St. James, La., he administered affairs 
so judiciously that he became quite popular with the 
planters and their negro laborers. The sugar crop was 
saved, the profits were large and the help received wages 
in full. Previously the work had been done by slave 
labor, so that the reception of wages for their work on 
this occasion was an agreeable experience for the ne- 
groes. Capt. O'Brien administered affairs so well that 
when Gen. Richard Taylor (Confederate) came sweeping 
along to relieve the besieged garrison at Port Hudson, 
O'Brien was secretly warned by the planters so that he 
might escape death or capture. 

The attention of Gen. Banks was specially called, in 
June, 1864, to the large number of U. S. soldiers con- 
fined in the Parish prison. New Orleans. He decided to 
investigate the matter and appointed a commission, con- 
sisting of four officers for that purpose. One of these 
officers was Capt. Lawrence O'Brien of the Ninth. 
They found that for trifling offences, soldiers would be 
arrested by the police and brought before a judge who 
w^ould not fine them but would, instead, send them to 
prison. The commission also found, and so reported to 
Gen. Banks, that the judge was a secret enemy of the 
United States and was thus aiding his side by imprison- 
ing these U. S. soldiers and thus keeping them away from 
their regiments. As a result of the investigation, the 
soldiers were liberated and the judge was arrested and 
locked up. 

Lieut. Col. Richard Fitz Gibbon of the Ninth, issued 
the following circular from the headquarters of the regi- 
ment, Madisonville, La., early in 1864: 

Feb. 16, 1864. "There being a number of men in the 
several companies of this regiment who manifested a de- 



IV A R OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 175 

sire, previous to re-enlisting, to be transferred from one 
company to another, and they having been generally in- 
formed by the ofificers that this desire would be granted, I 
think it is for the interest of the captains and also the 
regiment that this should be carried out. In order that 
it may be done properly, the applications should come 
from the captains to the commanding officer of the regi- 
ment. It is desired that this may be done as soon as con- 
venient."' 

Lieut. Col. Fitz Gibbon also issued the following order 
under date of Madisonville, La., Feb. 26, 1864: 

"On the reorganization of this regiment as veteran 
volunteers, and at the request of company commanders, 
the following named enlisted men are transferred as fol- 
lows : Private Patrick P)Owen,^ of Company A, to Com- 
pany C ; Private James Keegan, of Company A, to Com- 
C ; Private Charles Dimon, of Company D, to Company 
I ; Private Thomas Knablin, of Company D, to Company 
I ; Corporal James Dolan, of Company E, to Company K ; 
Private Michael Dolan, of Company E, to Company K ; 
Private John 0'Mara,of Company E,to Company K. All 
ordnance and ordnance stores, camp [and] garrison equip- 
age in their possession will be dropped from the next 
quarterly returns of the companies, from which they are 
transferred, and taken up on the returns of the compa- 
nies to which they are transferred. Their clothing and 
whatever other accounts they may have will be trans- 
ferred in like manner. Their names will be dropped 
from the rolls of the several companies from which they 
are transferred, and will be borne on rolls of the com- 
panies to which they are assigned. This order to take 
effect from March i, 1864." 

In an order issued by Lieut. Col. Fitz Gibbon, at 
Madisonville, La., Feb. 29, 1864, it is provided that "The 
camp of this regiment will be removed to-morrow to the 
grounds formerly occupied by the Eleventh Indiana Vol- 
unteers. The tents will be struck at 5 o'clock a. m." 

Also spelled Bohan. 



176 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

In an order issued by the Lieutenant Colonel at Car- 
rollton, La., March 17, 1864, he announces that "The 
following officers are hereby appointed an examining 
board to examine recruits, from the general depot of en- 
listment, for this regiment, viz : Surgeon Charles A. Gal- 
lagher, Ninth Connecticut; Capt. Michael A. Williams, 
Ninth Connecticut ; Capt. John G. Healy, Ninth Con- 
necticut." 

The Ninth was now preparing for its furlough North. 
Col. Cahill issued the following:

IVAR OF THE REBELLION. 1861-1863. 177 

According to an order issued at New Orleans, June 27, 
1864, the Nineteenth Corps, as then made up, comprised 
three divisions, nine brigades, and fifty regiments. The 
Ninth Connecticut regiment, at that time, formed a part 
of the First Brigade of the Second Division. The brigade 
was commanded by Gen. H. W. Birge and the division 
by Gen. Cuvier Grover. The brigade was constituted as 
follows : 

FIRST BRIGADE. 
BRIG. GEN. H. W. BIRGE. 

Fourteenth Maine, Col. Thomas W. Porter. 
Twelfth Maine, Col. William K. Kimball. 
Twenty-sixth Massachusetts, Col. A. B. Farr. 
Ninth Connecticut, Col. Thomas W. Cahill. 
Seventy-fifth New York, Col. R. B. Merritt. 
Fourteenth New Hampshire, Col. Robert Wilson. 



Gen. Henry W. Birge, commanding this brigade, was 
a native of Connecticut, and when the war broke out was 
a resident of Norwich. In May, 1861, he was commis- 
sioned as major of the Fourth Connecticut regiment, but 
resigned that position and in November, 1861, was made 
colonel of the Thirteenth Connecticut. He led the latter 
to Ship Island, Miss., and thence to New Orleans, later 
participating in operations throughout that section. In 
September, 1863, he was commissioned brigadier general. 
He took part in the Red River campaign and in Sheri- 
dan's operations in the Shenandoah Valley. In June, 
1865, he was appointed to command the military district 
of Savannah, Ga. 

The following order is self-explanatory : 

Aug. 15, 1864. "Captain O'Brien, 9th Connecticut 
Volunteers, will take command of, and distribute to their 
regiments, all enlisted men now at Camp of Distribution 
in this city, whose regiments are serving in the Army of 



178 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

the Potomac. All officers en route to their commands, 
junior in rank to Captain O'Brien, will render him such 
assistance in the discharge of this duty, as he may re- 
quire. The Quartermaster's department will furnish the 
necessary transportation." (By command of Major Gen. 
J. J. Reynolds).

By special order No. 19, issued by Col. Cahill, at Car- 
rollton, La., April 4, 1864, the non re-enlisted men of the 
Ninth, and others not entitled to the furlough, were 
assigned to Capt. Wright of the regiment, during the 
absence of the latter at the North. Lieut. Joseph H. 
Lawler was, at his own request, relieved from duty with 
Com.pany H, and was ordered to report for duty to Capt. 
Wright. 

In the meantime, the U. S. transport Continental had 
been provided to convey the regiment North on its fur- 
lough. The Continental was moored to a wharf at the 
head of Jackson street, New Orleans. The Ninth was 
transported from Carrollton to New Orleans by rail and 
marched to the boat. A special guard of three men from 
each company was detailed for duty at the steamer. 
Embarking, the regiment was assigned quarters for the 
voyage, and soon after, lines were cast off and the Con- 
tinental started on her journey. Officers and men were 
in excellent spirits, at the prospect of visiting home, and 
the passage proved ver\' enjoyable. The Continental, 
which also had the Eighth Vermont regiment aboard, 
reached Long wharf, New Haven, at 5 p. m., Friday, 
April 15. 

The city was en fete to welcome the returned veterans. 
The New Haven Palladium speaking of the event, in its 
issue of April 16, 1864, says: "New Haven honored the 
brave boys of the Ninth yesterday. Col. Cahill and about

400 of his re-enlisted men arrived at Long" wharf on the 
transport Continental, yesterday afternoon, after a pleas- 
ant passage. * * =f: 'pj^g veterans were landed, 
formed in line, and inspected at the end of Long wharf. 
They were then marched up to the head, where they were 
met by the imposing military escort which our patriot- 
ism had provided for them." Church bells were rung, 
cannon fired and other welcoming features displayed. 
The Eighth Vermont also landed and participated in the 
parade, receiving a cordial greeting. The line was made 
up as follows, as stated in the Connecticut War Record, a 
publication of the period : 

Second Company, Governor's Horse Guards.

The Ninth received a tremendous welcome from the 
multitude lining the route of march. Tlie veterans were 
escorted to the State House, in New Haven, where an 
address of welcome was delivered by Mayor Tyler. An 
eloquent address was also delivered by the Rev. Father 
Hart, in the course of which he said : 

"We hoped for great things from you ; and I proclaim 
before you that our hopes have not been disappointed, — 

' The re-enlisted veteran*.

no, not in a single instance. We have followed you from 
Ship Island to Pass Christian, your first encounter 
in war, when, after having conquered the fathers, you 
gave bread to the starving children. We followed you to 
New Orleans. We found you in the expedition bound 
for Vicksburg. There many of your noble brothers in 
arms laid down their lives upon their country's altar. 
Sacred be their memories to-night! Honored be the 
graves in which their patriotic dust is laid to rest! and 
may our country, for which they died, care for their 
widowed and orphaned ones. From Vicksburg, we 
watched your steps to Baton Rouge, now made famous 
by your exploits ; where, after a most desperate contest, 
lasting for hours, your gallant colonel was placed in 
command, by whose efforts the day was won, and the 
enemy defeated, forced to retire, leaving their dead and 
wounded in your hands. You have done well. We are 
proud of you. Other regiments have fought more than 
you, because they had it to do. You have done all the 
fighting given you to do, and done it well. We honor 
you, therefore, and were proud of you when we heard of 
your congratulatory orders, and your compliments for 
discipline and bravery." 

During the exercises, a dinner was served the veterans. 
The Ninth went into camp in New Haven, and the men 
were given opportunities to visit their homes and fami- 
lies, from whom they had been absent so long.

THENCE TO THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY — THE BATTLES 
OF WINCHESTER AND FISHER's HILL — REENLISTED 
VETERANS ORGANIZED INTO THE NINTH BATTALION, 
COMMANDED BY LIEUT. COL. JOHN G. HEALY. 

THE NINTH left New Haven for the front, again, 
July 1 8, 1864, and was given a cordial farewell. 
New Haven was aglow with enthusiasm and a great con- 
course witnessed the regiment's departure. The com- 
mand departed on the steamer Elm City for New York 
and landed there. It was at first thought to retain the 
regiment in that city, owing to circumstances, but the 
command was finally embarked for New Orleans. This 
order was soon changed, however, and the Ninth was 
directed to proceed to the James river, where it disem- 
barked at Bermuda Hundred, Va., and participated, 
"with its usual alacrity," in the important movements 
then taking place. 

Gen. Butler, early in May, 1864, had entrenched the 
larger part of the Army of the James at Bermuda Hun- 
dred, at the junction of the James and Appomattox rivers. 
The object was to co-operate with the Army of the 
Potomac, which was approaching from the North. 
Butler's prime consideration, just then, was to prevent 
L,ee receiving re-enforcements from Petersburg, Va., or 
the South. With this purpose in view, Butler undertook 
the destruction of the railway between Petersburg and 
Richmond so as to cut off direct communication between 
the capital of the Confederacy and the South. 

Gen. GiUmore withdrew his forces from before Charles- 
ton to join Butler, whereupon Gen. Beauregard hurried 



1 84 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. IN FA NTR V. 

northward to confront and oppose the Army of the 
James. He reached Petersburg- and was quickly re- 
enforced. Under cover of a dense fog, on the morning of 
May 16, 1864, he attempted to turn Butler's right fiank. 
After a spirited battle, Butler's troops retired to within 
their entrenchments. Some days later, Butler was ordered 
to forward nearly two-thirds of his effective force to the 
north side of the James river for the purpose of assisting 
the Army of the Potomac which was then engaged oper- 
ating against Lee in northern Virginia. Deprived of so 
large a part of his troops, Butler was unable, for the time, 
tO' make any further aggressive movement. He accord- 
ingly expressed himself to the effect that "The necessities 
of the Army of the Potomac have bottled me up at Ber- 
muda Hundred." This sentiment was subsequently used 
to his disadvantage. 

The Ninth, under Col. Cahill, upon reaching Bermuda 
Hundred, in July, 1864, reported to Gen. W. S. Hancock 
commanding the Second Corps. Some days later the 
regiment proceeded to Deep Bottom, Va. In a short time 
it moved to Washington, D. C. It reported to Gen. C. 
C. Auger, commanding the Twenty-second Corps. One 
of the captains of the regiment writing home to Connec- 
ticut, under date of Tennallytown, D. C, Aug. 3, 1864, 
says : 

"In the letter which I sent home on the ist inst., I 
mentioned that we w^ere in sight of the city of Washing- 
ton. Well, we arrived there that evening, and in a few 
moments received orders to march to the Baltimore 
depot and there take the cars. All the knapsacks were 
stored in one of the Government buildings, the olBcers 
and men taking with them only what clothing they most 
needed. We marched through Washington to the depot. 
On arriving at the latter point, we learned that no cars 
would be ready for us until near morning. So we were 
ordered, with other regiments, to an open field where we 
laid ourselves down. The men had their blankets with 



IVA/i OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 185 

them, but the officers had no such comforts and were 
obhged to rechne on the bare ground. 

"We did not expect to have much of a sleep that night, 
as we expected to be ordered ofif at any moment. Still, 
we hoped this would not be and that we would be per- 
mitted to remain imdisturbed for the night, as we were 
all tired out, not having changed our clothing since we 
left New Haven and having had but little sleep. In one 
hour after we had lain down, however, the order was 
given to 'Fall in!' without arms. 

" ' Fall in ! Fall in ! Fall in ! 

Every man in his place ; 
Fall in ! Fall in ! Fall in ! 

Each with a cheerful face. 
Fall in I Fall in ! 
Fall in ! Fall in !' 

"We were marched to a large building, called the 
'Soldiers' Rest,' where we were treated to plenty of cold 
ham, hot cofifee and fresh bread. The boys ate with a 
relish. After this, we went back to the camp and 
again nxed ourselves for a good night's rest. But we 
were soon disturbed, and ordered to go aboard the cars. 
These were such as are used to carry horses. We lay 
down on the hard boards and tried to snatch a brief sleep. 
Before daylight, we were aroused and ordered to disem- 
bark, the train not having started, and be ready to imme- 
diately march. 

"The line was formed on Pennsylvania Ave., in front 
of the National Capitol. Our regiment had the right of 
the line, and the march was soon begun. We soon 
learned that we were to march to the Tennallytown road 
and there join other troops on their way against the 
enemy. After we had marched about seven miles, we 
were ordered into camp. Our brigade formed in line at 
10 o'clock that night and, half an hour later, we started 
for the front. The Ninth was in excellent spirits, notwith- 
standing what it had just been through, and we moved 



1 86 NIXTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL . IN FA NTR V. 

forward in excellent shape. We marched until 2.30 
o'clock the next morning, and by that time we were very 
tired. 

"We were permitted to lie down and were soon fast 
asleep. The next morning, we commenced pitching our 
tents, which are nothing but a square piece of canvas for 
the officers and men ; all fare alike. When we awoke 
that morning, the first thing that attracted our attention 
was the advance line of our fortifications within a short 
distance of us. There we were in the front and facing the 
enemy. The evening previously, a great many of the 
Ninth w^ent up to the works, and when they came back 
they informed those who did not go that they had got a 
glimpse of the enemy. This information prompted a gen- 
eral rush of the boys to the place and from there, sure 
enough, could be seen our pickets and, beyond them, 
those of the Confederates. Friend and foe were only a 
short distance apart. In fact, the pickets were near 
enough to exchange words with each other. I went up 
to our works yesterday afternoon and, with the naked eye, 
could easily see the rebel pickets and, with the aid of a 
glass, could nearly discern their features. I heard their 
band play last night. There w^as also great cheering 
among the Confederates, but we have not yet learned the 
cause of it. 

"I don't know how long we will remain here, — prob- 
ably until the rest of our corps arrives from New Orleans. 
Lieutenants Kennedy, Connors and McKeon, and sev- 
eral of the men, who had been left behind, arrived here 
yesterday. The Sixth and Seventh regiments are close 
by us, on our right. There is very little firing going on 
in the daytime, but at night they go in. Last night there 
was very heavy firing over in the direction of Petersburg. 
There is also heavy firing in the direction of Fort Dar- 
ling on the James river." 

Writing, "In the woods, near the Leesburg Turnpike, 
about 15 miles from Washington, Aug. 14, 1864," the 



IVAIi OF THE REBELLION, 1861-186^. 187 

captain of the Ninth, just quoted, says : "AU the troops 
of the Ninteenth Corps, that were stationed at Tennally- 
town, struck their tents about i o'clock this morning. 
The air is cool and refreshing, caused by a splendid 
shower last night. At 3 o'clock this morning, the order 
was given to march, and we started in the following 
order: Gen. Grover, and staff, on the right; Gen. Birge, 
and stafT, next ; then our brigade and three other brigades 
in their respective order. Then followed the large train 
of ambulances, brigade, regimental and supply wagons. 
Forward we went over the rough roads, our equipments 
on our backs and three days' rations in our haversacks. 
We marched up hill and down vale, on the roads and 
through the woods. At times it was so dark we could see 
but a very short distance ahead of us. The roads were in 
bad shape, being covered with small stones. Upon day- 
light appearing, we halted for ten minutes, and then 
started again. At 5 a. m. we crossed the celebrated 
Chain Bridge, a beautiful structure. Our band played an 
air while we were crossing. In half an hour after, we 
passed through Tort Marcy.' You will recollect that 
our regiment is on the right of the line. The weather 
had now become very warm. We halted for about ten 
minutes every hour. We did not march over two miles 
an hour, owing to the condition of the route. During the 
march, we had to wade through two large streams. A 
rest was then ordered for the remainder of the day. I 
had some dry cofifee in my haversack and soon had some 
of the refreshing beverage prepared. Our beds consisted 
of leaves, with pieces of shelter tents spread over them. 
Over us, we had another piece of tent, rigged on sticks. 
My bed was on the edge of a stream. We are to move 
again at 3 o'clock to-morrow morning." 

Writing the next afternoon, the same officer says : "We 
were up at 2 o'clock this morning and after preparing and 
taking breakfast, we resumed our march at 3 a. m. We 
continued until noon when we halted at this place called 



1 88 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

'Broad Run," which is in Virginia. The day is very warm. 
I have returned from the 'Run' where I had a fine swim 
and feel much refreshed. I have not heard of any deaths 
to-day in the division. Yesterday there were three or 
four, due to the heat." 

Under date of "Leesburg, Va., Aug. i8, 1864," the 
officer writes : "We left camp at 3.30 this morning, and 
after a tedious march reached the town of Leesburg, 
Va. It is a beautiful village. The houses are nearly all 
of brick. As the head of the line reached the village, the 
bands of the different regiments struck up appropriate 
airs, and with colors flying, we entered the place. There 
were a great many people in the streets, — no young men 
— but some young ladies and many elderly people ; also 
crowds of negroes. The whites did not seem to be 
pleased with our visit. We saw several girls seated at the 
windows of their homes but they did not look at us. They 
are strong secessionists. The Ninth encamped just out- 
side the place. I, and several other officers, went to the 
hotel this evening to get supper. There were several 
ladies at the table, — all of them well dressed. The hotel 
management charged us one dollar for a cup of tea or 
coffee, hot biscuit and johnnycake. After supper we took 
a walk about the place. It is one of the prettiest villages 
I have ever been in. The inhabitants are very cheerful. 
We expect to leave here in the morning." 

The Ninth added to its fame, by the part taken by the 
regiment at Deep Bottom, Va., in July, 1864, and at the 
battle of Winchester, Va., Sept. 19, 1864. Gen. Philip H. 
Sheridan, who was of Irish parentage, took command 
of the middle division of the army on Aug. 7, that year. 
He had three army corps, — the Sixth, Eighth and Nin- 
teenth, his forces including 10,000 cavalry. Of Connecti- 
cut regiments with Sheridan at this time "were the Sec- 
ond Artillery, still fighting as infantry in Wright's Sixth 
corps ; the Eighteenth regiment in Crook's Eighth corps, 
the First Cavalry in Wilson's division, and the Ninth, 



WAB OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. ,89 

Twelfth and Thirteenth regiments, which had arrived from 
the Department of the Gulf, in the Nineteenth corps." 
Sheridan established his headquarters at Harper's Ferry. 
He carefully prepared for a vigorous campaign, and de- 
voted a month to getting his forces well in hand. Gen. 
Early (Confederate), wishing to flank him, attempted to 
lure him up the Shenandoah Valley, but Sheridan was too 
sagacious to be drawn into the trap. Instead, he kept 
the entrance into Maryland vigilantly guarded against 
Confederate raids and went ahead with his preparations. 
Gen. Grant visited Sheridan, Aug. 16, 1864, to consider 
the situation. The rest of the narrative is thus told •} 

"Sheridan was anxious to begin offensive operations. 
The lieutenant general (Grant) had confidence in him and, 
after deliberation, left him, with the laconic order, "Go 
in!" Sheridan and Early then confronted each other at 
Opequan Creek, a few miles east of Winchester. Sheri- 
dan watched his antagonist closely, and when, on Sept. 
18, Early weakened his lines by sending half his army on 
a reconnoissance to Martinsburg (which Averill' re- 
pulsed), Sheridan put his forces under arms, and, at 3 
o'clock in the morning, Sept. 19, they were in motion 
towards Winchester, Wilson's cavalry leading, followed 
by Wright's and Emory's corps. Wilson crossed the 
Opequan at dawn, charging upon and sweeping away all 
opposers, and securing a place, within two miles of Win- 
chester, for the deployment of the army. There they 
formed, with Wright's corps on the left, flanked by Wil- 
son's cavalry, Emory in the centre, and Crook's Kanawha 
infantry in reserve in the rear. Early had turned back 
towards Winchester before Sheridan was ready for battle, 
and strongly posted his men in a fortified position on a 
series of detached hills. Averill had followed them closely 
from Bunker's Hill, and he and Merritt enveloped Win- 
chester on the east and north with cavalry.

"Between the two armies lay a broken, wooded country. 
The Nationals attempted to reach Early's vulnerable 
left wing and centre, and, in so doing, encountered a 
terrible tempest of shells. They charged Early's centre 
furiously and carried his first line. His skillful general, 
Rodcs, was killed. The assailing columns were quickly 
hurled back by two powerful divisions. It seemed, for a 
moment, as if the Nationals had lost the day. The Con- 
federates eagerly sought to seize the only gorge in the 
mountains through which the Nationals might retreat, 
if compelled to. This was well defended by a few troops 
at first. Very soon the Confederates were pushed bacK 
to their lines. This was followed by the rapid rallying 
of the broken columns of the Nationals, and re-forming 
of their line, which speedily advanced. There was now 
a most sanguinary battle until 4 o'clock p. m., when a 
loud shout was heard from beyond the woods on the 
Union right. It was from Crook's (Eighth) corps * * 
'^ which, with Torbert's cavalry, pressed forward in the 
face of a murderous fire and fell heavily upon Early's left. 

"At the same time there was a general charge upon the 
Confederate centre by the infantry, and by Wilson's cav- 
alry on Early's right, driving the Confederates to the 
fortified heights. Before 5 o'clock the latter w^ere carried, 
and Early's broken columns were fiying through Win- 
chester and up the valley towards Strasburg in full re- 
treat. They left behind them 2,500 of their number as 
prisoners, with nine battle flags and five pieces of artillery. 
They were pursued until dark. The Confederates lost 
about T,ooo men besides the prisoners. Sheridan's loss 
was about 3,000. Besides the prisoners taken in battle 
there were about 3,000 wounded left in Winchester. 

As the battle opened, the Ninth was thrown forward 
as skirmishers and to protect the right fiank of the Nine- 
teenth corps. The advance videttes of the regiment were 
the means of having a Confederate battery captured, as 



IV A R OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 191 

they kept firing at the gunners and thus greatly aided a 
regiment of the Eighth corps which came up and took 
the battery. Some members of the Ninth were wounded 
during the engagement. They included Private Patrick 
Delaney, of Company F, and Private Augustus S. Smith, 
of Company 1. The former belonged in Waterbury; and 
the latter in Plymouth, Ct. 

Drum Major Healy, of the Ninth writes : "After the 
battle of Winchester, I was of a party looking in the 
woods and ravines for the dead and wounded. I came 
across an officer's horse with full accoutrements. The 
horse had been wounded in the fleshy part of the breast, 
not dangerously. He seemed glad he had been dis- 
covered. I brought him into camp, doctored up his 
wound and used him to carry the personal effects of my 
drum corps and also for foraging. One afternoon I, with 
six others, while near Harrisburg, Va., in the Shenan- 
doah Valley, drove about nine miles, looking for food, to 
a deserted farm with plenty of goats, pigs, potatoes and 
apples. I got a pot of apple butter, a bag of apples and 
potatoes and half a hog and had them tied to the pomel 
of my saddle when Mosby's guerrillas were seen in the 
distance on a run for us. It was certain death from the 
enemy to any one caught foraging. I started my horse 
on a run towards camp, but they were firing at me and 
were gaining. I cut loose all my bags and that wounded 
horse fairly flew and saved me. George Lyon was caught. 
He had a $10 greenback in his pocket. He put it in his 
shoe and they did not find it. He had to walk to Rich- 
mond. When he got there the greenback was nothing 
but pulp." 

It used to be humorously declared that the boys from 
Connecticut, on their march through Virginia, could 
chase a fat porker, kill him, cut him up, and put him in 
their haversacks, without losing step. 

While the Ninth was thus on the march, bv wav of

Leesburg and Snicker's Gap, to Berryville to join Sheri- 
dan, a musician of the regiment died of sunstroke. In his 
delirium he had wandered into a field. The surgeon ex- 
amined him and reported that there was no hope. Says 




a member of the Kinth : "The night we crossed Snicker's 
Gap we had already been on the march since i o'clock 
the night previous. Tired, hungry, barefooted, it seemed 
as though we should never hear the welcome order 
'Halt!' Among the sick in ambulances were Surgeon 



IV A R OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 193 

Gallagher and two other surgeons. The roads were in 
fearful condition. After joining Sheridan, Aug. 17, 1864. 
a week or so was spent by the Ninth in skirmishing, forti- 
fying, changing position, etc. One night we moved hur- 
riedly to Halltown, near Harper's Ferry — a few days 
there — then back again to Berryville. On the morning 
of Sept. 19, the army was in motion and before daylight 
we of the Ninth could hear the boom of the cannon in 
the distance. At 9.30 a. m., we ^eft the road and moved 
to the right under cover of the hills. The shells were now 
screaming over us, and the rattle of musketry came to us 
directly from our left. We hurriedly formed in line of 
battle, pushed through the dense woods and in a few 
moments were in the roar of the conflict. At nightfall, 
after the defeat of the enemy, we marched over the field 
and bivouacked at Winchester. We continued the pur- 
suit through the day and in the evening took up a posi- 
tion on the extreme left of our army. That evening, the 
Ninth made a reconnoissance. The next day, we were 
ordered to hold a ford at the foot of a mountain still 
further to the left. Crossing the railroad, the Ninth 
moved through an open field to the river several hundred 
yards distant. Two of our companies forded the stream, 
the rest forming along a fence on the bank. In a short 
time, we heard the 'Rebel yell' and a brigade swept down 
from the heights upon our boys who fell back under a 
terrible fire. The water of the river seemed to fairly boil 
with the splash of the bullets. Amid the confusion, eight 
companies of the Ninth fell back to the railroad, leaving 
the Colonel and two companies near the river, the enemy 
being in such proximity that retreat was impossible. 
Sharp firing was kept up all day, without much damage 
being done on either side. The rebels not knowing our 
weakness failed to cross and attack us. Our loss was two 
killed and five wounded. Under cover of the darkness 
we fell back to the main body, but in the morning re- 
turned to our old position in time for the battle of Fisher's 
Hill, Va."

Driven from Winchester, Early and his forces did not 
halt until they reached Fisher's Hill, the point just men- 
tioned. This was beyond Strasburg and 20 miles from 
the Winchester battlefield. Fisher's Hill was strongly 
fortified. Sheridan had sent a despatch to the Secretary 
of War, stating that "We have just sent the enemy 
whirling through Winchester, and are after them to- 
morrow." And he kept his word. On Sept. 22, 1864, he 
appeared before Fisher's Hill where the Confederates 
under Early were entrenched. Sheridan ordered Crook's 
corps to gain the rear of the Confederate position, and 
with Wright's and Emory's corps advanced to the attack 
of the left and front. The assault was vigorously made 
and, notwithstanding a vigorous resistance, the Confed- 
erates were driven in great disorder up the valley, leaving 
behind over 1,000 prisoners and sixteen pieces of artillery. 
Sheridan pursued to Port Republic where he destroyed 
a Confederate train of 75 wagons. His cavalry continued 
the pursuit to Staunton, where Early had found shelter 
in the passes of the Blue Ridge. The Union cavalry de- 
stroyed a great amount of stores at Staunton, and then 
proceeded to Waynesborough and visited destruction 
upon the Virginia Central railroad. Sheridan's army then 
moved down the Shenandoah valley, inflicting great, but 
necessary, damage and leaving nothing that would "invite 
the enemy to return." 

The Ninth's term of service as a regiment being about 

to expire, measures were taken to organize those who 

had reenlisted, into a battalion. The following was

DURING THE WAR. 

CAPT. John G. Healy, senior captain of the Ninth 
Battalion, C. V., was made lieutenant colonel Dec. 
I, 1864. He commanded the Battalion throughout its 
whole period of service, and was mustered out with the 
command, Aug-. 3, 1865. The Battalion rendered valiant 
service and was one of the most efficient of the veteran 
organizations. It participated in the battle of Cedar 
Creek, Va., Oct. 19, 1864, and was among the commands 
to welcome Sheridan as he dashed along on his famous 
ride from Winchester. 

After the battle of Fisher's Hill, in Virginia, fought in 
1864, in which the Union forces achieved such a 
great victory, Sheridan went to Washington on official 
business, leaving Gen. Wright in command. His forces 
were strongly posted at Cedar Creek, and no attack from 
the enemy was expected. Nevertheless, it came. Early, 
the Confederate commander, keenly felt the defeat he had 
received and determined to strike a blow in an attempt to 
reverse the conditions. Reinforced by Kershaw's divi- 
sion, and 600 cavalry sent him by Lee, he decided on a 
bold and swift movement against the Federals. He ac- 
cordingly secretly assembled his forces behind a mask 
of thick woods, at Fisher's Hill, and formed them in two 
columns. Soon after midnight, Oct. 19, 1864, he moved 
to make a simultaneous attack upon both flanks of the 



1 98 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Union army. His right column consisted of the divisions 
of Gordon, Ramseur, and Pegram ; his left of those of 
Wharton and Kershaw. At dawn, he fell upon the 
Federals, striking- them on the right, left and rear. 

So furious and unexpected was the assault that the 
Federals were taken by surprise and thrown into great 
confusion. "In fifteen minutes," says an account of the 
fight, "Crook's corps, that held a position in front, and 
had heard mysterious sounds like the dull, heavy tramp 
of an army, was broken into fragments, and sent flying 
back in disorder upon the corps of Emory and Wright. 
Crook left 700 men as prisoners with many cannon, small 
arms, and munitions of war, in the hands of the Confed- 
erates. Emory tried in vain to stop the fugitives, but very 
soon his own corps gave way, leaving several guns be- 
hind. These, with Crook's, eighteen in all, were turned 
upon the fugitives with fearful effect." 

Gen. Wright, recognizing the peril of the Union army, 
ordered a general retreat. This retreat was covered by 
the Sixth Corps, under Ricketts, which had maintained 
its organization. The army retreated five miles to the 
village of Middletown. Here Wright rallied his columns 
and fell back some distance further. It was now 10 a. m., 
and the Union army had lost since dawn 1,200 men who 
were taken prisoners, many killed and wounded, 24 can- 
non, and much other property. The Confederates hav- 
ing ceased their pursuit for the time, Wright re-foniied 
his forces and took up a position where he could advance 
or retreat as circumstances might require. 

It was at this critical juncture that Sheridan came 
rushing to the rescue. Returning from Washington, he 
passed the night at Winchester. In the early morn he 
had heard the sound of artillery, but concluded that 
nothing more than a reconnoissance was in progress. 
Mounted on a black horse, he leisurely moved out of 
Winchester. Before long, however, he met the first of 
the fugitives and learned of the disaster. Instantly 



IVAR OF THE J? EB ELL /ON, 1 861-1863. 199 

roused to vigorous action, he urged his horse forward 
at full speed and started on a ride that has now become 
historic. Shouting orders as he passed along, he waved 
his hat and cried to the retreating hosts : "Face the other 
way, boys ! face the other way ! We are going back to 
our camp ! We are going to lick them out of their 
boots!" 

His appearance and words aroused tremendous en- 
thusiasm. Companies began to get in line, regiments to 
form and soon the headlong retreat was checked and the 
army was on its way back to meet the Confederates. 

Among the organizations that cheered Sheridan as he 
passed, and turned and followed his lead was the Ninth 
Battalion, C. v., Lieut. Col. John G. Healy^ commanding, 
which participated in the victory that ensued. The re- 
formed Union army fell upon the Confederates with so 
much vigor that the latter were soon in full retreat. That 
night Sheridan's forces were in their old location at Cedar 
Creek. 

When Early had unexpectedly attacked the Union 
army at dawn, the Ninth Battalion, C. V., promptly re- 
ported at the breastworks. Notwithstanding the great 
confusion prevailing, the Battalion presented a brave 
front and was kept well in hand by its commander and 
other officers. The BattaUon was soon ordered down the 
hill. "As we reached the foot," says Col. Healy, "an aide 
of Gen. Birge ordered us back up the hill, and we re- 
turned in good order, and delivered another volley at the 
advancing enemy." So the Ninth fell back, bravely 
fighting. 

When Sheridan arrived and the Union rout was 
checked and turned into an attack upon the Confederates, 
the Ninth Battalion was in the forefront of the fray. At 
one time during the charge. Col. Healy seized the colors 
and waving them aloft, shouted to his command : "Come 
on, boys, follow me !" He was answered with a tre- 
mendous cheer and the battalion rushed on. Lieut. Col.

Healy in his report says: "I desire to make particular 
mention of Sergeant W. Perry, and Private John T. Mor- 
row, who, after the color-sergeant had been wounded, 
seized the colors and pushed fonvard. These men were 
always in the advance, few, if any, color-bearers being 
able to keep up with them. The colors of my battalion 
were the first on the recaptured works from where the 
corps had been driven in the morning. In less than five 
minutes, no less than a dozen stands of colors were 
around us." 

The total loss to the Confederates was 2,000 killed and 
wounded, and 1,500 prisoners. It was practically the end 
of Early's operations in the Shenandoah Valley. 

Capt. Garry T. Scott, of the Ninth, wrote the following 
letter about this time: 

Camp of the Ninth Battalion, Connecticut Vet- 
eran Volunteers, Army of the Valley, 

Cedar Creek, Va., Oct. 24, 1864. 
Dear : 



We have had another big battle and another glorious 
victory. The battle lasted from before 5 in the morning 
until dark. 

The rebels surprised the Eighth corps, and got inside 
the works, before they knew it. We were driven out of 
our fortifications and fell back several miles. But in the 
afternoon we, (the Ninteenth corps), succeeded in turn- 
ing their right flank ; when we charged them, driving 
them from our works, and up the valley, in confusion. 

Gen. Grover, our division commander, was wounded 
in the arm, and his inspector general was killed. . Our 
loss was heavy but not so great as that of the Johnnies. 
The Ninth was commanded by Capt. John G. Healy, who 
showed himself a brave oi^cer, and the men acquitted 
themselves nobly.

commander. Our colors were the first planted on the

recaptured works and were the first to advance in the 
charge. I wish to speak of the bearer of the U. S. colors, 
John T. Morrow, a private who enhsted while the regi- 
ment was home last summer. He took them early in 
the battle, when the color sergeant was wounded, and car- 
ried them the remainder of the day with credit to himself 
and to the Ninth. 

The state colors were carried by Capt. Healy during 
the first part of the charge, but finding that he could not 
give orders freely while carrying the flag, he handed it 
to Sergt. Perry, of Company D, who bore it until it was 
planted beside the others on the works. Tlie loss of our 
battalion was small, considering the time we were under 
fire and the exposed condition of our men during the 
whole day =5= * * . q_ -p^ Scott. 



Capt. James W. Graham, of the Ninth, in mentioning, 
some years ago, his recollections of the war, stated : "To 
those of us who remained in the service, and carried the 
flag of the old Ninth till the end of the war, it seems as 
if some of its best work was done when reduced to a bat- 
talion of four companies. I know that at the battle of 
Cedar Creek, which was fought after the regimental or- 
ganization had ceased to exist, the Ninth greatly distin- 
guished itself. In the charge that broke the Confeder- 
ate line in the afternoon, and turned the tide into a Union 
victory, the colors of the Battalion were in the van of all 
other flags on that field. I know that the man who car- 
ried the national flag was a private soldier, and I remem- 
ber the two officers and one corporal who crossed the 
open field between the lines with him. These were the 
four daring spirits who led the Federal army in the vic- 
torious charge that finally overthrew Early and ended the 
valley campaign." 

Private John McKenna of the Battalion, speaking of 
his own experiences states that 'T was twice taken pris- 
oner at Cedar Creek, but got away from them in time to 
be in the line when Sheridan rode up." 



202 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

"When Gen. Sheridan came upon the field after his 
famous ride from Winchester," observes a writer, "the 
troops were ready for the valiant commander. As he 
approached the Ninth, Capt. Fisk, of Burgess' stafT, 
pointed out that during that trying day the Battalion had 
not for a moment become demoralized. Sheridan 
glanced at the Ninth, and the soldiers cheered in a way 
that must have warmed the general's heart. He rode close 
to the command, and Private Morrow shouted: "Go in. 
General ! We'll follow you !" "I'll lead you back to your 
old camp !" was the hoarse response. In the headlong 
charge which followed, the Ninth held the advance." 

The headquarters of the Ninth were at Cedar Creek, 
Va., until Dec. 9, 1864, and were then removed to Camp 
Russell, Va., about ten miles from Cedar Creek. In this 
new location the Battalion remained until Dec. 30, when 
it moved to Stevenson Depot, Va. Its headquarters 
were next at Camp Sheridan, Va., and were then changed 
to Camp Kearney. The command embarked on the 
transport Gen. Scdgzvick, Jan. 10, 1865. The latter at 
first proceeded to Fortress Monroe where Col. Healy 
went ashore and reported. The next morning the steam- 
ship Ariel, with three other regiments of the brigade, ar- 
rived. The whole force was then ordered tO' Newport 
News, Va., there to disembark, and send the steamers 
back to Fortress Monroe. Orders were also given to 
have fifteen days' rations put aboard. The Ninth and 
the other commands went into camp that night. At 
midnight, an order was received by the brigade com- 
mander to have the troops ready at 7 o'clock, the next 
morning, for embarkation as the steamers would then 
be ready. Col. Healy received sealed orders and, upon 
opening them at sea, found that the Ninth was to go to 
Savannah. Ga. 

On the way, could be seen the masts of the blockading 
fleet off Charleston, S. C. In due time, the steamer with 
the Ninth aboard dropped anchor olT Tybee Island light. 



IVAH OF THE REBELLION, 1 861-1863. 203. 

In the morning, they steamed up to the mouth of the 
Savannah river and again dropped anchor. From the 
deck could be seen the church spires of the city. The 
Confederates had so obstructed the river that large 
steamers cotild go little beyond its mouth, and the troops 
had to be taken up to the city in small, river steamers. 

On April 26, 1865, the headquarters of the Battalion, 
together with Companies A and C, were transferred to 
Dawfuskie Island from Savannah to protect the negroes 
at work on the plantations, from the attacks of guerillas. 
The night the detachment from the Ninth arrived off the 
island, the lights being out at Tybee, the transport got 
aground in the breakers. After getting into deep water 
again, she anchored and remained until morning. When 
the detachment landed, not a darkey was to be seen, and 
a suspicion arose that the guerillas had already been 
there. This was soon confirmed by finding the body of 
a negro, in one of the buildings, shot through the heart. 
Some of the blacks had been carried off by the raiders 
and others had taken to the woods. 

While in Savannah, Col. Healy was, for a period, on 
detached service and commanded a Provisional Guard 
made up of details from every regiment in the place. 

A very interesting event took place in Savannah while 
the Ninth battalion was quartered there. The command 
decided to celebrate St. Patrick's day, 1865, by a parade. 
In the city was a local military organization — Irish — 
known as the Jasper Greens. The Greens, in 1865, were, 
of course, Georgians and had sympathized with the Con- 
federacy. The Ninth having decided to parade, began 
to look about for an Irish flag to carry beside the stars 
and stripes. The Jasper Greens had a fine one and cour- 
teously loaned it to Col. Healy's command for the occa- 
sion. This friendly act was much appreciated. 

On May 24, 1865, the Ninth was ordered to Hilton 
Head, S. C, where there was a large gathering of organ- 
izations homeward bound. While at Hilton Head, the 



204 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Battalion was among the troops commanded by Gen. Q. 
A. Gillmore. It was mustered out during the first week 
in August, 1865, and thereupon returned to New Haven. 
It reached the latter city on Aug. 8, and was cordially re- 
ceived. It was escorted to the State House, welcomed 
by Mayor Scranton and a great concourse and hospitably 
entertained. Of Regiment and Battalion we may say, in 
the words of the poet Mary E. Blake : 

"Home! 
With silken folds of the banner torn 

In gaps, with the sunlight streaming through, 
The bayonets gleam from the muskets worn, 

And stain and dust on the army blue ; 
Back from the battle-fields far away 

Their medals of bronze on cheek and brow, 
They came thro' the city streets to-day, — 

Our Legion of Honor we call them now. 



"Home ! 
Many had reached it long ago. 

Not the place that our hearts had planned, — 
The fireside rest that their feet should know. 

Who came to us back from the direful land, — 
But a sweeter rest — which never shall cease — 

Than the deepest depth of our love could give, 
Where God himself is the light of Peace, 

And the ransomed soldiers of freedom live." 

We have already given lists of officers and men of the 
Ninth who are recorded as having "died" during the 
years 1862, 1863 and 1864, the greater part of them of dis- 
ease contracted in the service. Among those who died 
in 1865, (Battalion), were Corporal Charles Coote, of 
Haven, Private Michael Harrigan, of New Haven, and 
Private William Goodall of Derby. 

The following is a list of members of the Regiment, 
and Battalion, who were killed, wounded, injured, or

CHAPTER XIV. 

REGIMENTAL REUNIONS BY SURVIVORS OF THE NINTH 

ENTHUSIASM AROUSED BY THE OLD BATTLE FLAGS OF 

THE ORGANIZATION MOVEMENT TO RESTORE THE 

CAPTURED COLORS OF THE THIRD MISSISSIPPI REGI- 
MENT — THE PROJECT IS CARRIED TO FRUITION THE 

CONNECTICUT DELEGATION WELCOMED TO NEW OR- 
LEANS RECEPTION BY EX-CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS. 

THE Ninth has had several regimental reunions since 
the war, and these occasions have always been of 
great interest. A reunion was held at North Haven, Ct., 
in Aug., 1874, and we are indebted to one of the New 
Haven daily papers of the time for the following account 
of the event : 

The Ninth's business meeting was held in a picnic 
building in the grove. It was called to order by Capt. 
Garry T. Scott, Hartford. Capt. Curtis, cashier of a 
bank in Tidioute, state of Pennsylvania, and formerly of 
Bridgeport, Ct., was made chairman of the meeting and 
president of the association for the year ensuing. Lieut. 
Wm. Gleeson, New Haven, was appointed corresponding 
secretary, and Lieut. O'Keefe, of New Haven, recording 
secretary. Col. J. G. Healy was nominated for vice- 
president but declined, and Capt. Lawrence O'Brien, of 
New Haven, was appointed. Father Daniel Mullen, of 
Norwich, who was the first chaplain of the regiment, was 
appointed chaplain. 

Geo. Cook, of Bridgeport, treasurer, was reappointed 
as such. The following, on motion of Dr. Gallagher, 
were appointed the executive committee for the ensuing 
year, after some discussion in reference to the next re- 
union : Dr. Rollin McNeil, New Haven; Sergeant Hill, 
Bridgeport ; Capt. Scott, Hartford. The committee was 



IVAJ^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 209 

authorized to confer with a corresponding committee 
from the Twelfth, with reference to holding a joint re- 
union. Lieut. Gleeson read the minutes of last year's 
meeting in the absence of lieut. Curtis, brother of the 
chairman. The subject of ascertaining the whereabouts 
of each and every survivor of the regiment was discussed 
and referred temporarily. Geo. Cook, of Bridgeport, 
treasurer, read the financial report, showing a small sum 
in the treasury. 

On motion of Capt. O'Brien, it was voted to request 
the chaplain to ascertain the names of the dead of the 
regiment. It was agreed that the work would be quite a 
task for the reverend gentleman, but it was also agreed 
that each veteran lighten the labor by furnishing such in- 
formation as was in his knowledge upon the subject. 
Letters were read by the secretary last year from Mr. 
Anderson, of Hamburg; George W. Avery, Hartford, 
former assistant surgeon of the regiment ; Richard Fitz 
Gibbon, of Bridgeport, who' was lieutenant colonel 
of the regiment ; Nathan B. Hale, of Portland, Me. ; 
Adjutant Henry Kattenstroth, of Brooklyn, N. Y. 
(detained by illness of his wife) ; and Captain Wright, of 
New Orleans. Capt. Wright wrote a long and interest- 
ing letter in which he said he had just returned from a trip 
to Madisonville, La., where the regiment was encamped 
eleven years before, and gave a description of the present 
appearance of the "old camp ground," and made humor- 
ous allusions to Captains Garvey, Williams, Scott, 
and others, which were hailed with merriment. The 
"skeletons of the orphan geese" at Camp Parapet were 
mentioned, and Capt. Coates was challenged to answer a 
conundrum in conection with that topic. Capt. Wright 
IS now colonel and assistant inspector general of the 
Louisiana State Militia. The letter received from Gen. 
B. F. Butler last year was read, the same having been re- 
ceived too late to be read at the reunion last year. The 
history was then read by the historian. Dr. McNeil, of this

city, and was in his usual interesting, graphic and humor- 
ous style. We append the spicy letter of Captain Wright 
herewith : 

New Orleans, La., Aug. i8th, 1874. 

I.ieut. W. Gleeson, Corresponding Secretary of the 9th 
Reg. C. V. Association : 

Dear Comrade : — Your very kind favor of August 12th 
is just at hand, for which I am truly thankful. I only 
wish I could be with you on the 25th inst. I know I 
would spend a happy time. I never can forget the 9th 
Connecticut ; no lighter hearted set of boys ever left home 
to battle for a great cause than those dear comrades, who 
are assembled after the circling of another year of peace. 
As you sit around talking of the past, permit me to try 
to interest you. I took a run over to Madisonville yes- 
terday and again surveyed the ground whereon you were 
encamped in 1863. 

To my utter surprise, I found everything in the same 
condition as when you were last there, not even a stone 
displaced. The village has not changed one particle. 
There is just the same number of houses with the same 
number of shingles thereon. There are the two old rusty 
boilers that were in the saw mill when burned down; 
there is not even a brick removed. It would seem that 
the ingenuity and hand of man was not destined to lift 
this section of our country out of its long, deep sleep. 
There are the identical old logs half burned, still lying 
around as of yore. 

There is the modest little French chapel, with its clean 
white-draped altar precisely as it was eleven years ago, 
when the boys of the Ninth presented its worthy curate 
with a memento worthy of the regiment. 

Closing my eyes, I took a seat on one of those old logs, 
and commenced to dream. There I see Captain Garvey 
mounted on a line charger, showing the boys how to toss 
a fence. Again I see Capt. Williams. The captain has 
his trousers tucked into his military boots, and is followed 
by a crowd amongst whom I recognize Jerry and 
Johnnie Beatty, McDonough, of the Second Louisiana 
Cavalry, and a host of others. There is fun ahead and 
Capt. Williams is the boy to find it. I beUeve they mean 
to wake our quondam friend Garry Scott, and so they do. 



M^AJi OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 211 

Do any of you remember the wake ? Well, it was all that 
a wake ought to be. 

* * * I have just returned from Camp Parapet, 
where I saw the skeletons of those orphaned geese that 
Capt. Tom Coates had arrested for disloyalty. After their 
capture, Tom swore that they refused to take the oath of 
allegiance, and so he placed them in durance. I expect 
the spirits of those geese are haunting Coates to this day. 
How is that, Tom ? You remember that after dinner you 
swore they were the identical geese that nibbled the grass 
from off Adam's grave. Frye, Kennedy, Lawler and 
Wright are well, and desire to be kindly remembered to 
the boys. What has that committee done about the 
"monument for Chalmette?" Come, comrades, don't 
sleep over that project ; it is one well worthy your best 
efforts. Your comrades who are at rest on the banks of 
the Mississippi are worthy of a remembrance. You will 
please convey our kindest regards to the members of the 
I2th, who I see will be assembled with you on the 25th 
inst. Wishing you all health and happiness, I am, with 
profound respect, your comrade, ^^ Wright, 

Late Captain of the 9th Regiment, C. V., and now 
Colonel and Assistant Inspector-General of the S. N. 
Guard. 

In Sept., 1879, the battle flags of the Connecticut regi- 
ments were transferred from the Arsenal in Hartford to 
the new State Capitol, that city. The occasion was 
named "Battle Flag Day." An observer, writing of the 
event, remarks : "There was a great military display. 
The survivors of the war regiments were the lions of the 
day. They marched in the line, and carried their old 
flags. The immense throng that had assembled at the 
State House applauded as the old regiments marched by. 
But when the remnant of the Old Ninth appeared the 
air was rent with cheers. The regiment halted ; its color- 
bearers mounted the broad steps of the State House, and 
turning waved the Ninth's ragged, stained old battle 
flags, and up from ten thousand throats went a mighty 
cheer, a cheer that must have sent the blood bounding 



212 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

through the veins of the veterans. Among the guests 
upon the State House steps who witnessed this thrilHng 
scene was a Mr. Minor. A few years before the war he 
had been governor of Connecticut. An important act of 
his administration was to disarm and disband the Irish 
companies of the state. He must have entertained 
strange thoughts as he beheld the enthusiasm evoked by 
this gallant Irish regiment twenty odd years thereafter." 

In Feb., 1885, an interesting event, under the auspices 
of the survivors of the Ninth, took place. This was the 
return of a captured Confederate battle flag to the surviv- 
ors of the Third Mississippi regiment. 

This was the flag that had been captured from the lat- 
ter, by the Ninth, at Pass Christian, April 4, 1862. The 
war had been over for twenty years and the animosities 
engendered by the struggle had, in a great measure, 
passed away. It was decided, therefore, by the Ninth's 
survivors, to return the colors as an evidence of good will 
and a reunited country. 

All these years, the flag had been in the custody of the 
State of Connecticut, but having been carelessly put away 
in a box had been greatly damaged. The silk — much of it 
— had fallen to pieces, only a remnant of the flag being 
left. It seemed at first, almost a hopeless task to attempt 
to restore it to any sort of shape. But it was decided to 
undertake the task. 

Early in February, the legislature of Connecticut had 
unanimously passed a resolution permitting the return of 
the flag to the Third Mississippi. It was originally made 
for the latter regiment by the ladies of Pass Christian. 
They had requested, as a favor, that the flag be returned 
to them, after these long years, and the request was 
granted. The survivors of the Ninth asked the state 
authorities of Connecticut to repair the flag, as far as pos- 
sible, so that it would be in condition to return. But this 
was declined. The following correspondence, at the 
time, sheds some light on the subject : 



IV A R OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 213 

Chairman of Committee on Cities and Bor- 
oughs, Hon. Frank D. Jackson of Derby. 

House of Representatives, State of Con- 
necticut, Hartford, Feb. 6, 1885. 

Col. John G. Healy: 

Sir — At a meeting of ex-soldiers of the assembly it was 
voted, '"That if the members of the Ninth Regiment asso- 
ciation do not desire to contribute money to repair the 
flag of the Third Mississippi regiment the ex-soldiers of 
this body will do it." 

Our object in taking this course was, that it was estab- 
lishing a precedent that would take from the state treas- 
ury quite a sum of money, if we voted what you asked 
for. If you will write me at once about what you think 
it will cost we will call the ex-soldiers together and make 
arrangements to furnish the money. 

Yours with respect, 

F. D. Jackson. 

Col. Healy sent the following reply : 

New Haven, Conn., Feb. 9, 1885. 
Hon. F. D. Jackson: 

Dear Sir — In answer to your favor of the 6th inst., we 
desire to say that while we appreciate the spirit in which 
our comrades in the general assembly tender us pecuni- 
ary aid for the repairs of the flag of the Third Missis- 
sippi regiment, we must beg leave to decline it in the 
same spirit in which it is tendered. 

The Ninth Connecticut is not a pauper regiment, and is 
not in need of charity. Being simply ex-soldiers and not 
legislators, we can hardly be expected to appreciate the 
dangers that lurk in the establishment of the precedent 
that your honorable body so much dreads. 

We remember that the state of Connecticut received the 
flag from our hands in perfect condition. We know that 
through the neglect of its custodians it was reduced to 



2 14 ^INTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

rags. In our ignorance, we believed that it was the duty 
of the state to repair and restore it. As soldiers, we 
believed that such action would be honest, graceful and 
fitting. * * * 

On behalf of the veterans of the Ninth, I am with 
respect, 

Your Obedient Servant, 

John G. Healy. 

The veterans of the Ninth, accordingly, restored the 
flag at their own personal expense. Silk was procured, 
tassels and a stafif provided, and appropriate lettering 
done. The accompanying illustration shows how the 
flag looked when repaired. The following correspond- 
ence then ensued : 

New Haven, Conn., Feb. 14, 1885. 

Hon. Henry B. Harrison, Governor State of Connecticut: 

Governor: I have the honor, on behalf of the Ninth 
Regimental association, to inform your excellency that 
the flag of the Third Mississippi has been repaired. They 
will not soon forget your kindly offer, which they have 
the honor most respectfully to decline. They will 
remember you as the friend of the boys in Blue, and as 
one who believes that the boys who wore the Gray and 
live in Dixie are ready and willing to protect the Stars 
and Stripes. 

Again thanking you, I am, Governor, 

Your most obedient servant, 

John G. Healy. 

State of Connecticut, 

Executive Department, 

New Haven, Feb. 14, 1885. 

Colonel: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt 

of your letter of this date informing me that the flag of 

the Third Mississippi regiment has been repaired, and 



IV A J? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 215 

expressing toward myself sentiments which are highly 
appreciated. I share in your belief that the brave men 
from whom the flag was captured would be ready to unite 
with you in defending the Stars and Stripes against every 
foreign foe, and I trust they will accept the restoration 
of their flag as a proof of kindly and generous feehng 
towards them, not only upon the part of yourself and 
your gallant comrades of the Ninth, but also upon the 
part of all the soldiers of Connecticut who, in days now 
happily receding into the past, were arrayed in arms 
against them. 

Very respectfully, 

Henry B. Harrison. 

Col. John G. Healy, 
President of the Ninth Regiment Association. 



The occasion selected for the restoration of the flag, 
to the representatives of the Third Mississippi, was "Con- 
necticut day," at the World's Industrial and Cotton Cen- 
tennial Exposition, New Orleans, La., Feb. 26, 1885. 
The delegation having charge of the flag on its progress 
from New Haven to New Orleans comprised Col. John 
G. Healy, Capt. Lawrence O'Brien and Corporal M. P. 
Coen, formerly officers of the Ninth ; also Mr. James 
Reynolds, town agent of New Haven, and Mr. Geo. A. 
Stevens, sheriff of New Haven county. 

Each member of the delegation wore a light blue badge 
inscribed as follows : 



THIRD MISSISSIPPI. 
(Seal of Mississippi.) 

NINTH CONNECTICUT. 
(Seal of Connecticut.) 

New Orleans, February 26, 1885. 



2i6 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Each veteran of the Southern regiment was presented 
one of these badges as a souvenir of the occasion of their 
first meeting after the war. 

At New Orleans the delegation was met by Captain 
William Wright, Lieutenant Joseph H. Lawler and Lieu- 
tenant Michael Kennedy, veterans of the Ninth. 

The following letter had previously been received by 
Col. Healy: Willard's Hotel. 

Washington, D. C, February ii, 1885. 
Colonel John G. Healy: 

Dear Sir — Your letter of January 29 was forwarded 
to me from New Orleans. I am here as one of the com- 
mittee appointed by the State and Territorial Commis- 
sioners to wait upon Congress, but expect to be in New 
Orleans before the date of your arrival. In the mean- 
time, let me heartily thank you in behalf of my people 
and particularly the old soldiers whose fortunes I shared 
from first to last, for the noble sentiments that have 
prompted your words and actions in connection with the 

^^S- . Yours truly,

In connection with the visit of the delegation from 
Connecticut, the following advertisements, addressed to 
the "Veterans (Confederate) of the Army of Northern

Recording Secretary. 

The New Orleans Times-Democrat, Feb. 26, 1885, states 
that 

The Army of Northern Virginia tendered a reception 
to the committee of the Ninth Connecticut Regiment, 
who are here for the purpose of returning a flag to the 
Third Mississippi Regiment. These colors were cap- 
tured in the early part of the late war by them from the 
Third Regiment in a charge on their camp near Pass 
Christian, Miss. 

They were escorted last evening from their headquar- 
ters, No. 76 St. Charles street, to the hall of the A. N. V., 
where a large number of old veterans awaited their 
arrival. After a most cordial reception a large punch- 
bowl was emptied, and nearly all present indulged in 
some happy allusion to the fraternal feeling which now 
existed between the soldiers of the North and South. 
Col. Healy, chairman of the Ninth Regiment committee, 
spoke most feelingly on the subject, and recited the his- 
tory of his regiment in the Southwest. Capt. O'Brien 
also spoke of his service in the South. He was the pro- 
vost marshal in St. James parish for a long time, and 
made many warm friends, who have retained their friend- 
ship for him all these years. 

Corporal Coen, responding to a call, said that he 
intended to go back to his people and tell them how the 
committee was received by the old soldiers who fought 
against them. He said, although he had lost his father 
and a brother in the late war, he had no feelings against 
the Southern boys. The war was over, and with it 
should be swept out all bitterness, and we should be 
friends again. 



2i8 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Col. Fenton, from Connecticut, being present, also 
delivered a most feeling address, in which he alluded to 
the many acts of kindness received from the people of 
this state. 

L. H. Yeargan, from North Carolina, was called upon, 
and in response he claimed that to speak of battles and 
sieges before the Amiy of Northern Virginia was to gild 
refined gold, paint the lily, or add perfume to the rose ; 
therefore he would conform to the spirit of the occasion, 
and that was that every Union soldier held an equal 
admiration with himself for the Leonidas of this era, 
Stonewall Jackson. 

The meeting of these old soldiers last night awakened 
the memories of many incidents of the war which had 
almost faded from the mind. Reunions of this kind do 
much to foster the good feeling which is growing 
stronger and stronger every day between the two sec- 
tions. To-day the presentation of the flag will take place 
in the Music Hall of the Exposition, between the hours 
of I and 2 p. m. * * * 

All members of the Veteran Association are invited to 
attend, their badges being their passes through the gates 
of the Exposition. After the ceremony the committee 
will partake of the hospitalities of a number of old sol- 
diers, who have provided a dinner for them at the head- 
quarters of the Army of Northern Virginia. They leave 
for home on Friday. 

The New Orleans Sunday States, in its issue of Feb. 
22, 1885, stated that: 

Col. John G. Healy, Capt. Lawrence O'Brien and Cor- 
poral M. P. Coen. * * * * ^ representing the Ninth 
Connecticut Regiment, arrived here over the Illinois Cen- 
tral yesterday and have taken quarters at No. 76 St. 
Charles street, where they will be glad to meet and 
receive their friends. As representatives of the Ninth 
Connecticut, these gentlemen will on Thursday the 26th 
inst., at the Exposition grounds, return to the survivors 
of the Third Mississippi Confederate Regiment, the tat- 
tered remnants of the glorious old flag which led them to 
battle in the late war. It will be a most pleasant event 
and one fraught with many interesting and important 
historical reminiscences. This flag was captured at Pass 
Christian in April, 1862, by the Federal regiment whose 
representatives now so generously donate it back to those 
who know and appreciate it best. 



JVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-186^. 219 

Col. Healy and his party left New Haven on Monday 
last accompanied by Mr. James Reynolds, a prominent 
official of that city, who will return with them from this 
city. They will remain here until Friday, and leaving-, 
go by way of Washington, D. C, where they will attend 
the inaugural ceremonies of President-elect Cleveland. 
Last evening they were the recipients of many distin- 
guished callers, among whom were Gen. Wm. Wright 
and Major Jos. H. Lawler, members of the old Connecti- 
cut regiment. 

The majority of our old citizens still remember the old 
Connecticut regiment. It was stationed in and about 
New Orleans for fifteen months during the war, doing 
provost duty. Headquarters were on Lafayette square. 
At that time Col. Thomas W. Cahill was the commander, 
and for several months was military commandant of this 
city. John G. Healy, late commander, was a captain 
and stationed at Lake End for fullv eight months, being 
in charge of that post. Capt. Lawrence O'Brien was 
provost marshal of St. James parish for more than a year, 
and Corp. Coen was stationed at the Lake, with Col! 
Healy. 

These gentlemen, as they appear now, are all in excel- 
lent health, the best of spirits, and enjoy the reputation 
of being prosperous business men in the community in 
which they live. 

Referring to the old flag, etc., Col. Healy said: "Gov. 
Henry B. Harrison, of our State, was very much in sym- 
pathy with the movement on our part to return the old 
flag, and seemed desirous to do everything in his power 
to accomplish the scheme as proposed by the survivors 
of the Ninth Connecticut Regiment."

ON THE OCCASION. 

THE day of the presentation finally arrived, and the 
exercises were thus described by the New Haven 
Morning A^ezvs, Feb. 2y : "The event of yesterday at the 
New Orleans exposition was the celebration of Connecti- 
cut day and the formal restoration to the original owners 
of the tattered battle flag captured by the Ninth Connecti- 
cut regiment at Pass Christian, Miss., in 1862. The 
colors up to the present time have been at the Capitol at 
Hartford, but both branches of the legislature sanctioned 
their return to the Ex-Confederates. 

"Connecticut visitors are many at the great southern 
exhibition, and they were out in force. Long before the 
hour for the presentation, the streets were lined with peo- 
ple hurrying to see the sight. The guard of honor, which 
had accompanied the flag from New Haven, had been 
considerably increased in numbers since it left Chicago, 
and on its arrival in New Orleans had been treated with 
distinguished courtesy by the managers of the exhibition 
and the survivors of the regiment from which the flag 
had been captured 23 years before. Public interest in the 
presentation had been increased by the action oi the press, 
which had devoted much space to the story of the flag's 
adventures. 

"The ceremonies were held in Music hall, an enormous 
building, which was elaborately decorated for the occa- 
sion. On the raised and handsomely ornamented plat- 



IVAR OF THE /REBELLION, 1861-186^. 221 

form were all the United States and state commissioners 
to the exhibition, lady commissioners, a large number of 
representatives of the Grand Army of the Republic, the 
Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of Tennessee, 
the Ninth Connecticut veterans and a host of Federals 
and ex-Confederates of prominence. The best of feeling 
prevailed and it was evident that the return of the flag 
was deeply appreciated by the men who had worn the 
gray. As the old soldiers took their seats on the plat- 
form the vast audience which filled the hall cheered re- 
peatedly, and when the speech of presentation was made 
the applause was deafening. 

"The ceremonies were opened by Acting Commis- 
sioner of Connecticut T. R. Pickering, who introduced 
Col. John G. Healy, of the Ninth regiment, Connecticut 
Volunteers. Colonel Healy in an eloquent address trans- 
ferred the flag to Capt. Curran, of the Tliird Mississippi. 
He dwelt briefly on the events which led to the capture 
of the flag and of the circumstances which brought 
about its return. Acting as the spokesman of his regi- 
ment he returned the banner to its former owners with 
the best wishes of his comrades. He trusted, he said, 
that this would be but one of many similar restorations 
on both sides and would be at once a token of the good 
feeling which now exists and a means of bringing the 
two sections of the country into still closer relations. 
The chaplain of the Third Mississippi, the Rev. Thomas 
R. Markham, delivered an address of acceptance. He was 
followed in a speech by the Hon. J. R. G. Pitkin, of 
Louisiana." 

The New Orleans Times-Democrat, Feb. 27, had the 
following report of the afifair : 

CONNECTICUT DAY. 

THE OLD FLAG OF THE THIRD MISSISSIPPI RETURNED BY 
ITS CAPTORS. 

A beautiful day, with the largest attendance of the 
week. All through the day the grounds were bathed in 



222 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

bright, warm sunshine, and the sweet Southern air was 
fanned by a j^entle breese, wafted up from the broad, deep 
waters of the majestic Mississippi. A day of surpassing 
beauty it seemed to the thousands of Northern visitors 
on the grounds, who gazed in wondering admiration, not 
less upon the glory of the heavens above them than upon 
the splendors of the grounds around them ; splendors 
that increase day by day as the exquisite floral mantle 
of the great park approaches maturity. 

Such a day rendered complete the beauty and bril- 
liancy of the scene that was being enacted in the Main 
Building. It was Connecticut day, and the hundreds of 
visitors here from that most famous of all the famous old 
New England States determined that the day set apart 
for the celebration of the Nutmeg State should not lack 
in interest. And it did not, for it witnessed one of the 
most interesting and pleasing events that have yet oc- 
curred at the Exposition. It was a day that forged one 
more of those innumerable links that bind the North and 
South indissolubly together, a day to linger long in the 
memory of many thousands of people, a day to be re- 
membered by historians in the future. 

This event was the formal restoration to its original 
owners of a tattered battle flag captured by the Ninth 
Connecticut Regiment from the Third Mississippi Regi- 
ment at Pass Christian in 1862. The captured colors 
have rested until now in the State Capitol at Hartford, 
Conn., but both branches of the Legislature of that State 
having cordially sanctioned their return to the old owners 
of the flag, they were brought here and gave rise to the 
brilliant ceremonies of yesterday, in token of the mutual 
willingness of the people of both States, and of all the 
States, to utterly obliterate the memory of past disputes. 

The exercises commenced in the Music Hall at 2 
o'clock, but long ere the hour arrived the vast hall was 
filled to overflowing b}^ an immense audience. When the 
Mexican Band arrived and took up its station on the 



WAJ? OF THE REBELLION, 1 861-1865. 223 

platform, a loud burst of applause went up from the great 
gathering, which knew the oft proved excellence of the 
musicians about to entertain them. 

On the platform were nearly all the United States and 
States commissioners in town, a large number of lady 
commissioners, several ladies of the city, and also many 
representatives of the Army of Northern Virginia, the 
Army of Tennessee and the Grand Army of the Republic. 

* :k >(: 

On the front of the platform stood a table draped with 
the Stars and Stripes. In front were suspended the two 
guidons of Mississippi and Connecticut, and on the 
table were a bronze equestrian statue of Gen. Robert E. 
Lee, a statue of a national standard bearer, and a bronze 
medallion of Gen. Washington. All these bronzes were 
made by the Ames Manufacturing Company of Chicopee, 
Mass., and belong to the Bay State exhibit, having been 
loaned to Connecticut for this occasion. 

Several appropriate selections were rendered by the 
Mexican Band, and the exercises were then opened by 
Acting Commissioner T. R. Pickering, of Connecticut, 
who presided. He remarked: "The object of this meet- 
ing has been so well portrayed, by the press and other- 
wise, that I will not detain you by any remarks, but at 
once introduce to you Col. John G. Healy, of the Ninth 
Connecticut Volunteers." 

Amid the applause of the audience Col. Healy stepped 
to the front. He said : 

Boys of the Ninth Connecticut, of the Third Missis- 
sippi, and my friends : Twenty-three years ago the Ninth 
Connecticut Regiment, and a section of the Sixth 
Massachusetts battery visited Pass Christian, Miss. 
Twenty-three years ago you were the boys in gray, and 
we were the boys in blue. The war is over. The fires 
of the bivouac have been extinguished. May they never 
again be lighted, unless a foreign foe should interfere 
with this united country. [Applause.] There seem to 



224 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

be but few of your boys left. There are fewer of mine. 
In a few years we will have passed away. There are none 
to take our places. Our ranks cannot be filled. In a 
few years we will have joined the army above, and before 
we go, before w^e answer the last roll-call, let us shake 
hands, and remember that though we have fought on 
dififerent sides in the same field, we are all citizens of a 
common and a united country. 

The speaker here advanced a step and took the ex- 
tended hand of Col. Dyer, of the Third Mississippi. They 
shook hands cordially amid hearty cheers, and Col. Healy 
concluded his remarks as follows : 

If in the restoration of this flag your thoughts go back 
to the days when you received it from the fair hands that 
made it, and the remembrance of those days makes you 
happy, then you certainly give happiness to the boys of 
Connecticut, who carried the harp and the shamrock. 

Then, while the immense audience sent up a continu- 
ous cheer, and the Mexican Band rendered the stirring 
strains of the national air, the old flag, that had been 
twenty-three years in captivity, passed from the hands of 
Col. Healy into those of Capt. Curran, of the Third Mis- 
sissippi. * * * Capt. Curran received the flag with 
the following remarks : 

In behalf of the sursdving members of our command, 
as captain of the Dahlgren Guards, of Pass Christian, 
Miss., it is with sincere pleasure that I receive the flag 
captured by you from them at Pass Christian on April 4, 
1862. We were then Company H, of the Third Missis- 
sippi, performing guard service along the unprotected 
Gulf coast of our State. Afterwards we became attached 
to Featherstone's Brigade, in Loring's Division of the 
Army of Tennessee, and as such served through the war, 
laying down our arms under Gen. Joe Johnston in North 
Carolina. 

This day, sir, recalls another day and another presenta- 
tion. It was a proud day for us, when full of patriotic 
ardor, we first received this flag, the work and gift of 
the fair hands of the ladies of the Pass, our kindred, 




Capt. Jas. Hennessy.

AT ^•EW ORLEANS, LA., 1S85. 



JVAJ^ OF THE REBELLION, iS6i-i86j. 225 

friends and neighbors. It spoke to us then and it speaks 
to us now of the spirit of our people and the courage of 
our soldiers. In returning it, you show a spirit which 
does you honor, and to which we heartily respond. Brave 
men respect the brave and, the war over, are ready to 
pursue the paths of peace. 

In this return you show that you recognize our deeds 
in the past, and we accept it as a symbol of peace and 
good-will in the future. We fought you, as you know, 
long and well. You gained the day. We accept the 
issue and welcome you as citizens of a common country. 
And now, sir, I turn to the chaplain of our brigade, who 
knows how to speak, and who shared with us the fatigues 
of the march and the dangers of the field, and will ask 
him to give fit expression to the feelings that to-day move 
our hearts. 

The flag was then by Capt. Curran placed in the hands 
of Mrs. M. D. Leonard, of Port Gibson, Miss., and Miss 
Maggie Kidd, of Aberdeen, Miss., who will act as its cus- 
todians in the Mississippi department of the Government 
Building. An eloquent speech was then delivered by the 
Rev. Thomas R. Markham, chaplain of the Third Missis- 
sippi. 

He mentioned the pleasure it gave him to express the 
sentiments of the Third Mississippi, upon receiving their 
old flag back from the hands of its captors. It was espe- 
cially pleasing to him, because he was a Mississippian 
born and bred, and he spoke for his State and for his 
comrades. He appreciated to the full the spirit of mag- 
nanimity shown by the people and the legislature of 
Connecticut, and the knightly courtesy that had induced 
these gentlemen from Connecticut who were gathered on 
the platform to undertake in this wintry season, a long 
journey for the sake of returning to the Third Mississippi 
a token that would henceforth be as well an emblem of 
the peace that is, as of the war that was. [Applause.] 

Tlie present was the most suitable time that could have 
been selected for such an event as had just occurred, "for," 
said the speaker, "last Sabbath was to the people of this 
country a day of days. It was the day that commem- 
orated the birth of our first man. The national authorities 
of this land acted as became the representatives of a Sab- 
15 



2 26 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

bath-keeping people, recognizing the sanctity of a day- 
devoted to one infinitely greater than George Washing- 
ton. One day in advance, the Saturday preceding, com- 
memorated both the birth of Washington and the com- 
pletion of that monument rising upright in its sky- 
piercing height, higher than any ever before erected by 
man. 

They met together to recall him and his days, and was 
it not symbolic, sirs, that on that day there were in the 
ranks of that monumental procession first, your Gen. 
Ayers, and second our Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee, and that side 
by side were Edmunds, of New Hampshire, and Carlisle, 
of Kentucky : Winthrop, of Massachusetts, and Daniel, of 
Virginia? The object of one and all was to contribute 
their respect to the memory of that man who had been 
pronounced first in war, first in peace and first in the 
hearts of his countrymen — the greatest of good men, the 
first of best men." The speaker recalled reminiscences 
of the war, showing the bravery that had been evidenced 
on both sides, and ended by quoting the words of the 
immortal Webster, that the union of these States shall 
exist forever, and that liberty and union shall be one and 
inseparable now and for evermore. 

Major Geo. Gowan, representing the ladies' department 
of the state of Mississippi, next spoke as follows : 

No words of mine can express the emotions which 
swell my heart and the hearts of all Confederate soldiers 
on this occasion, nor language give utterance to the min- 
gled joy and sadness which possess me as my eyes turn 
once again on these familiar colors. 

This flag was mere bunting once — common merchan- 
dise on the merchant's shelf. Patriotic hands and patri- 
otic hearts made it an emblem of Southern pride and 
Southern chivalry. It became the flag under which the 
Third Mississippi Regiment went out to battle : 

" The hopes, the fears, the prayers, the tears, 
The hopes triumphant o'er the fears" 

of loved ones followed it. The sons of Mississippi rallied 
round it, to follow where it should go, to do and die 
in its defense. Thus going forth, its mission was to stir 
the hearts and nerve the hands of Southern soldiers, and 



JVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 227 

to find its place amid tlie scenes of carnage to which its 
presence would be an incitement. Grand flag it was then 
— the flag of the brave. How few survive who knew it 
in the pomp and circumstance of its early days. 

A change came. In the fierce struggle its defenders 
went down. The fortune of war transferred it to enemies' 
hands. It was borne away from Southern soil, away 
from those who loved it, away from its baptism of fire 
and blood, to be a trophy of victory in the hands of foe- 
men. Far from the land of the magnolia and the orange 
it found its new home. For twenty long years it has 
remained in its banishment. There it has borne witness 
to the valor of its captor. There it has told of a South 
land humiliated, down trodden and left desolate. 

But another change comes. Once more that old flag 
is under a Southern sun, and once more Southern hearts 
beat around it. Once it was an emblem of the high hopes 
and the grand enthusiasm with which the young men of 
Mississippi rushed to battle for their much beloved state. 
Once again, it was an emblem in the hands of victorious 
sons of Connecticut, to tell how nobly they have per- 
formed the task which Connecticut assigned to them. 

Now once again it is an emblem. Sons of Connecti- 
cut and sons of Mississippi are once more around it. It 
went down in its beauty and its pride amid scenes of fra- 
tricidal strife. With its stains and its battle scars it went 
among strangers, and has been treasured as a trophy won 
by brave men in fight. With its stains and battle scars it 
is here to-day. It does not look upon fields of blood. 
It does not lead and inspire to deeds of daring and death. 
It is an emblem now of peace restored, reconstruction 
complete, brotherhood re-established. It is an emblem 
now of mutual interest and mutual affection between the 
states of Connecticut and Mississippi. It is an emblem 
of a Union cemented afresh by Northern and Southern 
blood, a Union to endure forever. 

We welcome the old flag for what it has been, and for 
what it is. We welcome our Connecticut brothers, who 
bring it as a token of kind feeling and reconciliation. 
Dear old flag! dear in the memories that cluster around 
it ; dear in the association of which it reminds us ; dearest 
of all in its present mission of love. Now it tells us that 
the struggle was not in vain ; now it tells us that the rich 
blood of North and South that mingled upon our battle- 



2 28 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

fields was not wasted, but has been the seed of a new 
nation which shall know no North, no South, because 
their blood has been so blended. We thank you, men of 
Connecticut, from our hearts we thank you for this con- 
summation. We thank you that we see this old flag once 
more. Come, let us join hands around it, and take up 
the old anthem : 

"Liberty and union, now and forever, one and insepa- 
rable." 

HON. p. C LOUNSBURY. 

Hon. Phineas C. Lounsbury, of Connecticut, then de- 
livered the following address : 

It is an unexpected privilege that has come to me at 
the eleventh hour, to speak on this occasion in behalf and 
for Connecticut, my native state. It affords me the great- 
est pleasure to be able to speak words of friendship, love 
and truth — breathing the same spirit of cordial fraternity 
that greets us from the North, as we join hands far across 
that forever closed-up chasm with our brethren at the 
South — a chasm that once threatened to divide this great 
American Republic, which is now the pride alike of every 
American heart, whether in the North, the South, the 
East, or the West. 

In the formation of this great republic the state that 
is honored to-day performed w^ell its part. How in- 
stinctively our thoughts go back, and with laudable pride, 
to the days of our forefathers, those noble men of God ; 
men who, obedient to conscience, severed the dearest ties 
of country and of kindred, braved the perils of the ocean, 
and the worse perils of an inhospitable shore and an in- 
clement clime to enjoy the rights of civil and religious 
liberty, to worship God according to the dictates of their 
own consciences, and when these dearly bought rights 
were imperiled by the despotism of the mother country, 
dared to raise the standard of independence and defy the 
powers of royalty and through long years of deprivation, 
peril and blood triumphantly vindicated and established 
that independence ; men who, obedient to personal con- 
victions, and for the achievement or in defence of civil 
and religious right, voluntarily exchanged the peaceful 
implements of industry for the cruel weapons of war. 

To-day, as ever, we honor these manliest of men ; we 
honor them for that spirit of liberty and their love of right 



IVAJi OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 229 

which so possessed their souls that it strengthened them 
to endure hardships and privations for years, in order that 
they and we, their posterity, might enjoy individual rights 
and constitutional liberties, and unto God do we ever 
render thanksgiving and praise for His guiding hand, 
leading them on through many a dark and dreary season 
in the righteousness of their cause, from a self-declared 
independence to one owned and acknowledged by the 
nations of the earth. No longer subjected to the man- 
dates of the king of the isle across the sea, they became 
free to form a government that was destined to become 
grander and more glorious than they ever conceived — 
whose arches should span the continent from ocean to 
ocean and from the lakes to the Gulf, and beneath the 
dome of whose vast temple of liberty the oppressed of all 
nations might find a welcome and a home. * * * 

While we can never forget the heroes of revolutionary 
fame, may we not come down a little later and remember 
the heroes of 1812, who so gallantly and gloriously pre- 
served and maintained all those institutions of justice and 
the rights bequeathed them by their fathers? That was 
a conflict in which the then infant state of Louisana 
immortalized herself, and in which the beautiful city of 
New Orleans made herself forever known to fame, by 
that victory, so signal, so complete — at that battle that 
bears her name — that the British lion has never dared to 
put foot on, or claim, one acre of Uncle Sam's domains. 

We of Connecticut honor the heroes of New Orleans. 
We honor the chieftain who won fair laurels that shall 
ever encircle his noble brow. We honor those brave men 
who on that battlefield builded a tower of fame reaching 
to the very heavens, around which has gathered a halo 
of glory outshining the brightness of the meridian day. 
We honor the city of New Orleans, which has honored 
the loyalty and bravery of Gen. Andrew Jackson by a 
square that bears a monument that glorifies his name. 

We honor the spirit that caused those prophetic words 
of his to be inscribed in letters of granite, those words 
that have long been indelibly written on the tablet of every 
loyal heart, "The Union must and shall be preserved." 
I said those words of Andrew Jackson were prophetic 
words. They have again and again been verified in the 
history of the nation. England tested the strength of 
our Union, and, to her sorrow, proved its power. 



230 



NINTH REGIMENT CONN VOL. INFANTRY. 



You at the South had a long, strong pull and a pull 
all together, and it would not break ; and it never will 
break, for it was welded, not in the sunlight of prosperity, 
but in the fire of battle. There were honest differences 
of opinion at the North and in the South, but they never- 
theless did lead to dissensions that culminated in war ; 
but in that war they were finally and forever settled, and 
the crowning glory is the happy issue in which you to-day 
at the South rejoice alike with us at the North in an 
undivided nation that is rapidly becoming an undivided 
people, for we to-day join hands and shout and sing, "The 
Union, now and forever, one and indivisible." 

There may be, and no doubt there will be, minor dif- 
ferences of opinion, but are we not less selfish as a people 
and so respect each other's views ? I can but believe that 
one of the greatest benefits to be derived from this Cotton 
Centennial Exposition will be the bringing together of 
the people from all over this vast country, giving us an 
opportunity, as never before, of knowing one another, 
wiping out all sectional lines, knowing no North, no 
South, no East, no West, simply a solid nation from the 
Canadas to the Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific 
over which shall float the stars and stripes, in fact and in 
very deed, "over the land of the free and the home of the 
brave." 

As a token of the fraternal feeling that now exists our 
eyes have just witnessed a scene scarcely precedented in 
the annals of history. One year ago, indeed, a Grand 
Army Post of Connecticut, named after that gallant 
soldier, James E. Moore, under whom I had the honor 
to serve, returned to the Louisiana Guards of this city 
their colors. 

Now, to-day, the state of Connecticut returns through 
the intrepid Col. Healy, of the gallant Ninth, the flag they 
captured from the equally brave and gallant men of the 
Third Mississippi. I doubt not that if there was a flag 
which you could return to a regiment of our state you 
would he quick to manifest a like kindly feeling with that 
which we exhibit to-day. Not with a spirit of boasting, 
but in recognition of a fact which does honor to the sol- 
diers whose rifles you learned to respect, I may be per- 
mitted to say that though the Connecticut regiments were 
often in the thickest of the fight, and though their flags 
were pierced with shot and shell, they carried them back 



JVAJ? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 231 

to their native state, where they now encircle the statue 
of the Governor, who presented them, with not one left 
behind. 

And now, soldiers of the two armies, but now citizens 
of the one common nation, recognizing the one flag and 
looking forward to the same destiny, let us address our- 
selves to the new duties of the hour. The cry of earth's 
wailing tribes is in our ear, the struggle of oppressed 
nationalities is before our eye ; let us build stronger and 
broader this temple of freedom, that those who- wail and 
those who struggle may here find a rest and a home, and 
then this mighty nation shall neither crumble nor fall 
until the great archangel shall stand one foot upon the 
sea and one upon the land and declare that time shall be 
no more. 

Mr. J. R. G. Pitkin, of New Orleans, next spoke as 
follows : 

I am summoned by the Board of Management of this 
Exposition to discharge a pleasant duty. A word of 
preface : 

I feel wholly at home with men of Connecticut, not only 
because I was a school-boy and law student within her 
borders, and because I have since stood upon her plat- 
forms, but especially because I am descended from her 
tempestuous old governor, Wm. Pitkin, at whose council- 
board sat Jonathan Trumbull and Roger Sherman among 
other distinguished patriots. I am proud of my New 
England seasoning and of the rich vital contribution she 
has made to American civilization and to the nation. 

With this obtrusion of self, let me say that no student 
of American growth can forget that Connecticut drafted 
in 1639 the first complete charter in the New World, 
in which was lodged all the material fibre of our present 
National and State constitutions — and that she projected 
her wise and efficient school system the ensuing year. 
She felt that to secure a stable political structure she must 
discreetly mould the man or brick with which to erect it. 

To mature the man to his best competence for self- 
assertion, and to afiford him so complete a representative 
plan that his government should be his ampler self, were 
the noble aims of the fathers of Connecticut ; and I need 
not add that her enlightened career has been continuous 
testimonv to their wisdom. 



232 



NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 



Nor need I recall her relation to the French and Indian 
wars and her sturdy temper toward Great Britain, against 
which she proportionately furnished more men and 
money than any other colony. These and other historic 
events of that past were simply expressions of her stout 
determination to compass a staunch and well-ordered 
commonwealth or to expand it to an American nation. 
She may have talked through her nose, but she spoke as 
well through her guns ; she may have shown hard elbows, 
but it was to open a path for manhood and for a splendid 
civilization. She had loved the mother country, but when 
her sons found it needful to draw iron colons and periods 
from their shot-pouches to interpret the misread charter 
of justice to man, they did it and made wadding of 
British prescripts. 

In that especially dramatic incident in her history, when 
the royal Governor Andros demanded her charter ; when 
the candles upon the Assembly table where it lay were 
suddenly extinguished, and the bold Wadsworth bore it 
ofif and secreted it in an oak, it was perhaps a rude thing 
to leave his Excellency in the dark and for the rest of his 
term, as to the whereabouts of the precious patent, — and 
he doubtless twitched his rufifles and denounced the ill- 
mannered colonists, but they were for the very substance 
of things and had no obeisance nor courtesies to pay in 
which was a jot of surrender. In rendering unto Caesar 
the things that were CfBsar's they recognized him as 
standing in their own shoes and not in Andros' red coat. 
The same peremptory moral breath that blew out the 
Hartford candles, blew later from the cannon's mouth 
patents, governors and Great Britain herself out of the 
colonies and across the Atlantic! [Applause.] There 
was a great beneficent purpose behind the stern visor of 
the colonist's frown. Connecticut wanted a genuine free- 
dom, and this trait in her sons may explain the laxity of 
her divorce laws to-day. [Laughter.] It is a marvel that 
amid all her harsh early experiences she exhibited so 
little of the intolerant disposition that characterized 
Massachusetts and drove Roger Williams thence to 
Rhode Island ; although I suspect that as good Roger 
wanted his Baptist followers to lead clean lives amid all 
the buffets of fortune, he had an orthodox eye upon 
Rhode Island's delightful bays, in which so many thou- 
sands of us, in grateful deference to his memory, seek total 
immersion every summer. [Laughter.] 



JVAJ^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1^3. 233 

There is certainly no record that Connecticut ever 
punished a witch — except by marriage — and I soberly re- 
member that even during my sojourn there, her be- 
witching women were often visited with this penalty after 
having been subjected for a period to the custody of some 
attentive young man and to the severe conventional 
ordeal of singing schools and sleigh rides. [Laughter.] 
In fact, my chaotic admixture of experience and hearsay 
moves me to venture the somewhat confident statement 
that the custodian has been known to surrender the reins 
to the fair object of his charge and hold her with both 
arms in order to save her from the perilous consequences 
of her rash driving ; and the slowness of the horse in no 
wise diminished the intense police power of his solicitude. 
[Laughter.] 

Old Samuel Peters, a Tory chaplain, a copy of whose 
Ancient History of Connecticut I have inherited in the 
original edition, — and Appleton's reprint of five or six 
years ago is at the command of you all, — devised, it is 
clear, what were called the Blue Laws of Connecticut as 
a slander upon the State, and a man who ascribes them 
to her to-day by way of taunt, simply discloses his dis- 
charity and ignorance. The liberality of her people, even 
in Peter's time, is indeed a matter of wonder. Nor can 
we forget that Connecticut has been a nursery of men 
who have been noble factors in the growth of other States. 
Their name is legion, — so are her Yale men, — so are her 
insurance agents. [Laughter.] At every turn, all over 
the Union, we are reminded that an educated man is the 
best gift to a State and a policy the best honesty to a 
family. [Laughter.] With her colleges, her grand 
school system, her libraries, her numerous asylums, hos- 
pitals and factories. — with her affluent resources for 
brains and hands, and with her tons of manhood to the 
acre, Connecticut can hold her head erect amid her sister- 
hood of states with pride for her history, service and de- 
velopment, and for the fruitful distribution of her worthy 
sons throughout the Union. 

Her return of these Confederate colors to-day imparts 
a spirit that merits our grateful notice. A peace enforces 
a grave duty upon the parties to it ; it demands that each, 
victor and vanquished, shall maintain the unbroken stacks 
of its guns and forbear to re-awaken enmities concluded 
by the articles of peace. In view of the precious future 



234 



.\INTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 



before us, and the sober relations and responsibility of 
each citizen to it, there is no dishonor to which an Ameri- 
can citizen can debase himself so abject as that of fighting 
anew the old issues, whether in Connecticut or Louisiana 
— issues that remain in the tranquil hands of the dead and 
are registered in the ordinances of the nation. [Ap- 
plause.] 

In this regard I walk the soil of our republic as I en- 
ter a cathedral, with a reverent sense of the sacrifices 
and examples that emphasize the personal demand upon 
myself. Patriotism should be a religion. I do not study 
the device of the stole or the face of the ministrant who 
wears it, nor should I be swerved from my devout civic 
duty by the partisanship of any Executive. The national 
altar at all times claims my affection and support, and 
he who stands by it, mantled with the sanctity of popular 
will, is a priest in holy functions. We are not patriots by 
paroxysms, but independently of the quadrennial fortunes 
of party, if we be true to our civic trusts. To me, as 
doubtless to you, it is most touching to see these Union 
veterans bearing back these colors across the trenches 
and hushed plains of both armies with fraternal greeting. 
Surely the gray storm-clouds were a presage of this 
serener blue in our American skies. [Applause.] 
Heaven has its own plan and time. Like boys, we build 
our statues of snow and pelt each other with snowballs to 
assault or defend them, but God, with a grander motive, 
nourishes the vitality of our soul with it for the vernal 
sun. We often misconceive the winters of our moral and 
political experience until the benignant summer of our 
prosperity follows upon our spent statues, snowballs and 
red, pathetic stains and footprints. I believe the Ameri- 
can Union was never so firmly entrenched as now in the 
fellowship of her people ; never so fully assured as now in 
the warm, fraternal clasp to which the old, stern battle- 
clench has thawed open in pledge of great progressive 
ends. 

It is not amiss that I should advert to a body that, in 
1814, met at the capital of Connecticut — Hartford — where 
these captured colors have rested for a score of years. It 
was composed of delegates from New England (Roger 
Sherman, Harrison Gray Otis and George Cabot among 
the number), and was distinguished for such candor of 
purpose against the Federal government in its prosecu- 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-186^. 235 

tion of the war with Great Britain that a Federal mihtary 
officer was upon the ground to watch its proceedings. 
The rising murmurs of this war were the cradle-song of 
Louisiana as a State. It is not seemly for me at this late 
day to attempt an analysis of the motives that signalized 
that assemblage. I choose rather to remember that the 
tidings of Jackson's victory below this city, the patriotic 
service of Louisianians and others under him, and the 
peace concluded at Ghent, arrested the perilous purpose 
of the Hartford Convention ; to know that throughout 
Connecticut and New England as throughout Louisiana 
there is to-day a common and fervid zeal to maintain this 
republic, and that never again will the states, whether of 
New England or of the South, refuse, as then, their 
militia as a w^all between her and hazard. To-day Con- 
necticut and Louisiana, the former visited at an earlier 
and the latter at a later stage of its history with a charge 
of treason, meet beneath this vast roof and challenge the 
faith of the Union as bulwarks, each of which a drum-tap 
will man with tens of eager thousands, and which the 
arts and education of a dearly bought peace will fortify 
to a surer maintenance of a jealous American brother- 
hood. 

" The old order changeth, yielding place to new, — 
And God fulfils Himself in many ways !" 

In no place so fitting as this, where the American man 
is ennobled by industrial achievement and is bounteous in 
suggestion and incentive, could this challenge and pledge 
be given, and a declaration be made for the Union like 
Plato's for the world when he said : "All in the world is 
for the sake of the rest, and the places of the single parts 
are so ordered as to subserve to the preservation and ex- 
cellency of the whole." Gentlemen of the Ninth Con- 
necticut Regiment, which burst through our gates in 
1862, report to your comrades upon your return that you 
have found in this old city no sullen hospitality, and that 
as every May her ex-Confederates devoutly visit the 
graves of your dead, so to your living she is always sum- 
mer at heart. The soil whence she plucks her memorial 
blooms and the heaped arms in which she bears them to 
Chalmette, are always yours, come when you may. She 
will cherish your dead, and her pledge is the surer because 
she fosters her own. [Applause.] 



236 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

The day has passed when these banners flared like 
torches in the grasp of hostile armies marching through 
the dark hours of civil conflict toward or in hope of vic- 
torious dawns. We all face the same way ! The stern 
tramp of men has settled to the metre of a calm, strong 
American heart-beat, and, as Pythagoras, in passing a 
smithy, caught from a beaten anvil the musical scale by 
which nations sing their paeans in brass to-day, so the 
stern pound and buffet of civil war have disclosed to 
North and South the grand resources of prowess and the 
broad brows and fervent souls with which we all as fellow- 
countrymen may jointly command, under Providence, a 
destiny for History and Song to remember forever. [Ap- 
plause.] 

It is needless to say that you can wholly trust these 
fighting parsons (pointing to Dr. Markham) upon either 
side and their congregations of Old Ironsides in camp ; 
it is only the men who, after the great struggle, have dis- 
covered their tardy gifts of valor and statesmanship ; who 
insist that one's manhood, aspiration and civic service 
were grounded with one's gun, and who conceive that 
taunt is argument and embittered partisanship is patri- 
otic expression : from such men alone can come menace 
to our common country! [Applause.] 

In the name of the Board of Management, men of Con- 
necticut and of Mississippi, I tender you an unstinted 
welcome. Over the heads of us all, as brethren from the 
Canadian to the Gulf line, one standard sways upon its 
staff as if pent with a mighty and generous passion, and 
God grant that the blood in its stripes may never, never, 
never soak into its stars ! 

The Mexican Band, with the grand organ accompani- 
ment, then played "Marching Through Georgia," fol- 
lowed by "Dixie." Both were received with the greatest 
enthusiasm, which rose to a pitch of intensity when the 
two great military anthems were blended into one, as it 
were, and "The Star Spangled Banner" sprung from the 
union. 

A special feature in the musical programme of the ex- 
ercises was the use of the grand organ by Mr. Harvy P. 
Earle. of New Haven, Conn., whose skillful performance 



IV A J^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863 237 

seemed to lend additional beauty to the tones of the grand 
instrument as they resounded through the hall. The 
effect of the organ, when played in accompaniment to 
the Mexican Band, was magnificent, and the applause 
showered on the musicians testified to the enjoyment it 
afforded the audience. 



Capt. Daniel Curran, of the Third Mississippi, who 
received the returned flag from Col. Healy, was born in 
New York City, but his parents removed to Pass Chris- 
tian, Miss., when he was but six years of age. 
There they settled. When the war broke out 
young Curran was very zealous and active in aiding 
to organize the Dahlgren Guards, of Pass Christian, 
which became attached to the Third Regiment, Mis- 
sissippi Volunteers, Featherstone's Brigade, Loring's 
Division. He joined the company as a private, took part 
in the engagements of the Tennessee campaign, as well 
as at Yicksburg and Jackson, Miss. He was promoted 
to the captaincy of his company for valor, and on July 24, 
1864, was shot through the body at the battle of Peach 
Tree Creek, near Atlanta, Ga., from which wound he 
never fully recovered. 

He was subsequently employed as bookkeeper, and 
later accepted a position in the Hibernia Bank, now the 
Hibernia National, New Orleans, where he gave such 
satisfaction that he was steadily promoted, and finally ap- 
pointed to the responsible position of paying teller. Capt. 
Curran was a member of the Association of the Army of 
Tennessee, and was much beloved and esteemed by all 
who knew him. 

Shortly after the Ninth's committee returned to Con- 
necticut from New Orleans, the following letter was sent 
Capt. Curran : 

New Haven, March — , 1885. 

Dear Captain — During the brief visit to your city of the 
committee of the 9th Connecticut it was their pleasure 



238 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

to be entertained in a marked deg-ree by several gentle- 
men, to whom they will ever feel under the deepest obli- 
gations. So much sincere good feeling was exhibited 
that they are convinced that their mission was a fruitful 
one. 

They wish to show their appreciation of your efiforts 
toward the accomplishment of their desires by asking you 
to accept a cane, sent to you this day, as a memento of 
their esteem for you. 

May you carry it for many a day, and when old age 
reaches you, and your steps become less active, lean on 
the cane, and remember the happy occasion that made 
us friends. Yours fraternally, 

James Reynolds, 
Lawrence O'Brien, 
Michael P. Coen, 
John G. Healy. 



The cane just mentioned was a gold-headed one of 
artistic design. On one side of the head were engraved 
the words : "To Capt. Daniel Curran from His Friends, 
James Reynolds, Lawrence O'Brien, Michael P. Coen 
and John G. Healy." On the reverse the inscription was : 
"Connecticut Day, New Orleans, La., Feb. 26, 1885," 
and on the end, "9th C. V., 3d Mississippi." 

The following pathetic news paragraph appeared in a 
New Orleans paper late in Jan., 1894: "Yesterday, while 
the laborers were at work digging the revetment levee 
at West End, they found the skeleton of a man between 
two pickets, and near the skeleton was found a brass but- 
ton with the initials 'U. S.,' on it. The skeleton is sup- 
posed to be that of one of the United States soldiers 
belonging to the Ninth Connecticut Regiment, which 
was stationed at West End when General Butler was in 
command of the city. The skeleton was taken in charge 
by Mr. A. B. Messmer, the keeper of the city bridge, and 
will be given a Christian burial."

SOME BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 



IT was the author's original intention to give a detailed 
biographical sketch of every officer and man in the 
regiment. This idea, hoAvever, was finally abandoned for 
various reasons. It was found that in hundreds of cases, 
owing to the deaths of so many officers and men, during 
and since the war, material for many sketches could not 
be obtained. Even if such material could be secured, the 
use of it would increase the size of the present volume 
far beyond that contemplated by the committee on publi- 
cation. 

A few salient points, however, concerning every officer 
and man who enlisted in the Ninth are given in this work. 
They are contained in the roster herewith published. So 
that every commissioned and non-commissioned officer, 
every private, every drummer boy and every member of 
the band is, in some manner, noticed. The design has 
been to include all. 

The following sketches — mainly of commissioned offi- 
cers — are compiled from such material as could be ob- 
tained at this distance of time from the close of the war. 
They will, it is believed, be found of much interest : 

AVERY, ASST SURG. GEORGE W., resided in 
Hampton, Ct. ; enlisted in the Ninth, Nov. 13, 1861 ; 
mustered, Nov. 25, 1861 ; promoted surgeon of the First 
regiment, New Orleans Volunteers, Dec. 8, 1863 ! dis- 
charged, June I, 1866. 

BENNETT, O. M. NATHAN I., a native of Bethel, 
Ct. His father was a graduate of Yale, and commenced 
the practice of medicine at Bethel, removing to Bridge- 
port, Ct., in 1852. Nathan I., previous to the war, 
had been a clerk in the Bridgeport post office. He 



322 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

enlisted in the Ninth regiment, Aug. 17, 1861, and was 
mustered, Oct. 30, that year, as quartermaster-sergeant 
of the regiment. On June 5, 1862, he was promoted regi- 
mental quartermaster, succeeding Quartermaster William 
W. Harral. who had been honorably discharged, June 5, 
1862. Quartermaster Bennett resigned Jan. 23, 1863, and 
was honorably discharged. 

BOLGER, LIEUT. JOHN, of Company D of the bat- 
talion. (See roster). 

BURKE, LIEUT. MARTIN, of Company G of the 
regiment. (See roster). 

CAHILL, COL. THOMAS W., born in Charlestown, 
(now a part of Boston), Mass., Aug. 12, 1826; son of 
Lawrence and Mary Ann (Young) Cahill. The family 
removed to New Haven, Ct., when Thomas was a child, 
and settled there. The boy grew up to manhood, learned 
the trade of ornamental plasterer, and in 1851, formed a 
partnership, the firm engaging in the masonry business. 
During Father Mathew's visit to New Haven, in 1849, 
the future colonel was among those who took the pledge 
from that great total abstinence reformer. Cahill was one 
of the founders, in 1849, o^ ^l^^ Washington-Erina Guards, 
of New Haven, and served, successively, as lieutenant and 
captain of the organization, holding the latter rank at the 
time the company was disbanded, in 1855, by the Know 
Nothing administration. He was also, subsequently, cap- 
tain of the Emmet Guard, of New Haven. He was 
elected to the Common Council in 1857, and re-elected 
in 1858; was elected Alderman in 1859, and re-elected in 
i860 and 1861. He was also chosen street commissioner, 
but resigned the latter office in Nov., 1861, upon being 
mustered in as colonel of the Ninth regiment. He had 
been very active in the interests of the latter, and it was 
largely due to his exertions that the State authorized the 
formation of the command. Owing to his efforts, and 
those of a splendid set of officers, the regiment was 



IVAJ? OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 323 

brought to a high degree of efficiency, as narrated in 
the foregoing pages. Col. Cahill was very highly es- 
teemed by Gen. Butler, Gen. Phelps, Gen. Banks and 
other great commanders who bore testimony to his 
ability, courage and fidelity. He was appointed to com- 
mand the defences of New Orleans, was acting brigadier- 
general for a considerable period, and acquitted himself 
in a manner creditable alike to himself, the regiment, the 
state and the nation. Much of his military career is told 
elsewhere in this volume. It need not, therefore, be 
dwelt upon here. In addition to holding the municipal 
offices above mentioned, in New Haven, he also served 
as a member of the board of education. Col. Cahill was 
married in New Haven, Oct. 15, 1856, to Margaret A. 
Lanin. She was a native of New York city. Their chil- 
dren were: (i) Mary A.; (2) Edward L. ; (3) Thomas 
M. ; (4) Ellen J. L. ; (5) Charles J. Colonel Cahill died 
in New Haven, Aug. 31, 1869. His wife died there, July 
25, 1870. 

CAHILL, LIEUT. JAMES, belonged in Bridgeport, 
Ct. He enlisted in Company D, of the Ninth, Sept. 7, 
1 861, and was mustered as corporal, the same month. He 
was promoted sergeant, April i, 1862; second lieutenant, 
May 21, 1862, and first lieutenant, May 29, 1863. He was 
honorably discharged Oct. 26, 1864. Subsequently, for 
several years, he was a captain in the National Guard. 
He is now engaged in business in Oakland, Cal. 

CARROLL, LIEUT. DANIEL, of Company B. (See 
roster). 

CARROLL, LIEUT. JOHN, of Company F, and 
Company B. (See roster). 

CARROLL, LIEUT. WILLIAM H., enlisted into the 
Ninth regiment, C. V., Sept. 3, 1861, and was mustered 
in, as second lieutenant of Company F, Oct. 30, 1861. 
He belonged in Waterbury, Conn. He resigned, and was 
honorably discharged from the regiment Dec. 20, i86a. 



324 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

On Aug. 24, 1864, he married Mary Murphy, of Water- 
bury. Three children were born, viz: Wilham H., Mary 
A., and John. Lieutenant Carroll died, and was buried 
with military honors, in Waterbury, some twenty years 
ago. 

CLAFFEE, LIEUT. PATRICK T., born in Kings 
County, Ireland, March 13, 1832; son of Thomas and 
Ellen Claffee. He was brought to this country at the 
age of five years. He enlisted into the Ninth, Sept. 9, 
1861, and was nmstered, Nov. i; was sergeant-major 
of the regiment ; was promoted to be second lieutenant 
of Company C, Feb. 25, 1862 ; was promoted to be first 
lieutenant of the same company, May 18, 1862; died at 
New Orleans, La., Oct. 2, 1862. His body was brought 
home to the residence of his parents in Waterbury, and 
was given a military funeral. 

CLANCEY, LIEUT. RICHARD A., of Company D. 
(See roster). 

COATES, CAPT. THOMAS C, a native of Limerick, 
Ireland, born Aiarch 8, 1805 ; came to this country in 
early manhood and finally settled in Bridgeport, Ct. He 
enlisted in the Fourth U. S. Artillery, Sept., 1833, and 
participated in operations in Alabama, and against the 
Seminole Indians. He was honorably discharged in Sept., 
1836. In 1847, he enlisted in the Twenty-fourth regi- 
ment, N. Y. Volunteers, and served in the Mexican war, 
being wounded at the battle of Pueblo. Subsequently, 
he was one of the organizers of the Montgomery Guards, 
Bridgeport, Ct., the company being among those dis- 
banded by the Know Nothing administration in 1855. 
He enlisted in the Ninth regiment, C. V., Aug. 21, 1861, 
and was mustered as captain of Company D, Oct. 30, the 
same year. Before leaving for the front with the Ninth, 
he was presented a sword and sash by the ladies of 
Bridgeport. He resigned Oct. 15, 1862, and was honor- 
ably discharged. Capt. Coates died Feb. 15, 1887, 
much and deservedly regretted. 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 325 

COEN, CORPORAL MICHAEL P., born in Ireland, 
1843; son of Michael and Catherine (McCaffrey) Coen; 
located in Waterbury, Ct., with his parents, 1849, and was 
educated there. Wlien Fort Sumter was fired upon, the 
Rev. Thomas F. Hendricken, then pastor of the Immacu- 
late Conception church, Waterbury, in a patriotic address 
called a meeting of the young men of the parish in the 
basement of the church, at which meeting a company for 
three months was organized with the principal of the 
school as captain and Mr. Coen as a corporal, and its 
service tendered Gov. Buckingham. 

As the short time regiments were full, the company 
waited several weeks and was then mustered as Company 
F into the Ninth Connecticut. Mr. Coen was the young- 
est member of Company F. His father died while a mem- 
ber of the Twentieth Connecticut regiment and an elder 
brother, John P. Coen, was killed while a member of 
Company F of the Ninth. Mr. Coen, the subject of this 
sketch, also saw nine mo'iths' service in the United States 
Signal Corps to which men of a high grade were trans- 
ferred. Both Michael P., and John P. Coen, the brothers, 
were corporals in the Ninth. 

After four years' service Michael P. returned to Water- 
bury and soon became interested in the Fenian move- 
ment, being the chief mustering officer of Connecticut. 
Waterbury played an important part in furnishing men 
and money for the invasion of Canada, being the state 
military headquarters with Major Bannon commanding 
and Judge A. H. Fenn, aide on the staff of Gen. Sweeney. 
Mr. Coen is now one of the prominent residents and 
business men of Naugatuck, Ct. He is a public spirited 
citizen, active in all measures for the general welfare, and 
is very highly esteemed. His connection with the G. A. 
R. is a most honorable one. He has serv^ed as aide on 
the staff of the department Commander and also as aide 
on the staff of Commander-in-chief Veazey. He was a 
delegate from Connecticut to the National encamp- 



326 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

ment and a visitor to the soldiers' home at Noroton. "As 
a citizen and business man," states a writer, "Mr. Coen 
has taken a high rank in Naugatuck ; being connected 
with many of its public enterprises, a section of the bor- 
ough and a street being named after him. He is an active 
member of St. Francis' church, aiding it materially, hav- 
ing purchased the location of the present church and new 
cemetery. His entire time is now given to managing the 
affairs of the Salem Spring Ice Company, of which he is 
the principal owner." He w^as married at Naugatuck, Ct., 
in 1866. to Catherine Mulvey. Corporal John P. Coen, 
Michael's brother, was accidentally killed by the cars 
on the New Orleans & Jackson railroad. May 27, 1863, 
while serving in the Department of the Gulf. He had 
been a teacher in a National School, at Mount Rath, 
Queen's County, Ireland.

the subject of this sketch, was the eldest of the six chil- 
dren. He was apprenticed to the firm of Harral & Cal- 
houn, Bridgeport, to learn the saddler's trade. After 
serving some time in this business, he abandoned it to 
fill a position as storekeeper on the North Star and Ariel, 
of the Vanderbilt line of steamers, plying between New 
York, and Havre, France, and touching at Southampton, 
England. He remained with the line nearly three years 
and crossed the ocean many times. In i860, he accepted 
a position, as messenger, with the Adams Express Co., 
his "run" being between Bridgeport, Ct., and Great Bar- 
rington, Mass. He was thus engaged when the Civil War 
broke out. He had long been interested in the Con- 
necticut State militia, having served in the same for some 
years. He had commanded the famous Washington 
Light Guard, of Bridgeport, and was commissioned 
Lieutenant Colonel of the Eighth Regiment of militia of 
the State. When President Lincoln's first call came for 
volunteers to defend the Union, Col. Fitz Gibbon 
promptly responded, and recruited Company H for the 
First Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers. He was com- 
missioned captain of this company April 20, 1861. The 
regiment served in Tyler's department, of Northwestern 
Virginia, from May, 1861. It participated in the engage- 
ment June 17 and at Bull Run, July 21. It was mustered 
out of service at New Haven, Ct., July 31, 1861. On his 
return home, Fitz Gibbon assisted in organizing a second 
company, and was assigned to the Sixth Regiment, Con- 
necticut Volunteers, as a captain. About this time, steps 
were under way to organize the Ninth, an Irish regiment. 
Fitz Gibbon decided to join this regiment and was mus- 
tered in as lieutenant colonel. He was in command of 
the Ninth from June 24, 1863, to Oct. 26, 1864, the 
colonel of the regiment, Thomas W. Cahill, serving on 
detached duty as commander of the defences of New Or- 
leans and acting brigadier-general. Lieut. Col. Fitz Gib- 
bon was, at one time during the war, honored by an ap- 



IVAJi OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 331 

pointment to the staff of Gen. Reynolds. He reported 
to the latter, but it having been shown to Gen. Reynolds 
that he could not very well be spared from the Ninth, he 
was relieved and reported back to the regiment. Lieut. 
Col. Fitz Gibbon was mustered out in Oct., 1864, his 
term of service having expired. He immediately took 
steps to join a corps of veterans, which was being re- 
cruited by Gen. Hancock, and sent in his application, but 
the matter was finally dropped owing to the approaching 
close of the war. Lieut. Col. Fitz Gibbon married Miss 
Nellie A. Barnum. She died July 12, 1889. He was an 
officer of great ability. Possessing excellent judgment 
and a splendid military training, he was always quick to 
plan and prompt to act. He was a popular officer, fear- 
less in the face of danger, and a credit to his ancestry, to 
Connecticut, and to the Union. Two of his brothers, 
Thomas and John, also sensed the cause of the Union, in 
the Ninth Connecticut. The former, LIEUT. THOMAS 
FITZ GIBBON, also of Bridgeport, Ct., became regi- 
mental quartermaster and was an excellent officer. He 
rendered splendid service, especially in the Shenandoah 
campaign, in bringing up the stores. Sheridan's army 
was always on the move and that fact, together with the 
presence in the region of Mosby's Cavalry and other 
Confederate forces, made this duty of transporting stores 
a matter, at times, of great difficulty. But Quartermaster 
Fitz Gibbon was equal to the task. He was mustered out 
in 1864. JOHN FITZ GIBBON, another brother, of 
Lieut. Col Fitz Gibbon, was likewise of Bridgeport, Ct. 
He served as a private in Company K, of the Ninth, en- 
listing May 29, 1862. As a result of the Baton Rouge and 
Vicksburg campaigns, his health suffered and he was sent 
to St. James Hospital, New Orleans. In 1863, he was 
honorably discharged from the service by reason of dis- 
ability.

country. He came to Waterbury, Ct., a few years before 
the Civil War broke out. On Sept. 3, 1861, he enHsted 
into the Ninth regiment, and was mustered, Oct. 30, 
that year. He became captain of Company F of the regi- 
ment. He resigned, and was honorably discharged Dec. 
20, 1862. He returned home to Waterbury, died shortly 
afterwards, and was buried with military honors.

tain of Company G. A biographical sketch states that he 
participated in the affair at Blackburn's Ford, July 18, 
1861. He commanded a company of sappers and miners 
under Capt. Barton G. Alexander, Corps of Engineers, 
U. S. A. On July 21, 1861, Wright made a successful 
reconnoisance at Stone Bridge, during the heat of the 
engagement, for which he received the thanks of Gov. 
Buckingham, of Connecticut. He was promoted to a 
captaincy in the Ninth Regiment, C. V., and landed on 
Ship Island, Mississippi Sound, with the Ninth, in De- 
cember, 1861. He also served with the expedition under 
Major Gen. B. F. Butler at the capture of New Orleans ; 
was in the expedition to Vicksburg, under the command 
of Gen. Thomas Williams, in 1862 ; participated in the 
affair at Chattahoola Station, La., June 24, 1863 ; com- 
manded the outpost at Proctorville, La., from April, 1864, 
to August, the same year ; crossed the Potomac at Chain 
Bridge, with the Ninth, marched via Leesburg and 
Snicker's Gap to Berryville, Va., and served, with his 
regiment, in the army under Gen. P. H. Sheridan in the 
Shenandoah Valley. He participated in the battles of 
Winchester and Fisher's Hill ; was mustered out Oct. 26, 
1864. In 1872, Capt. Wright was appointed U. S. Ship- 
ping Commissioner for the port of New Orleans and held 
the position many years. He was State Registrar of 
Voters (Louisiana) from 1874 to 1876. In 1873, he also

occupied the position of Assistant Recorder for the 
Fourth District, and superintended the taking and com- 
piHng of the census of Louisiana in 1875. In October, 
1844, Judge Don A. Pardee appointed him a U. S. Com- 
missioner of the Circuit Court for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana. 

FRYE, MAJOR FREDERICK, a native of Montgom- 
ery, N. Y. ; was descended from a long hne of soldiers. He 
was son of Daniel M. Frye of New York city; grandson 
of Capt. Frederick Frye of the Regular army ; and great- 
grandson of Col. James Frye of Andover, Mass., who 
was an aide on Pepperell's stafT at the taking of Louis- 
burg (1745), and who was in command of a regiment of 
colonial troops at the battle of Bunker Hill (1775). Major 
Frye, the subject of this sketch, was educated in New 
York city, whither he had removed, when a boy, with his 
family. He was graduated from Columbia College, and 
began the practice of law in New York. In 1848, he was 
an alderman of that city, and the same year he married 
Matilda, daughter of Benjamin Brooks of Bridgeport, 
Ct. In 1849 Major Frye with his brother-in-law, B. S. 
Brooks, and others, fitted out the ship Balance and sailed 
for California. He subsequently returned to New York, 
and afterwards formed a law partnership with William 
H. Noble, of Bridgeport, Ct., where they practiced their 
profession. On the breaking out of the Civil War, both 
partners enlisted. Major Frye went out first as a captain 
in the Third Connecticut regiment and rendered splendid 
service. Later, he enlisted in the Ninth regiment, and 
was mustered as major of the command, Nov. i, 1861. 
He was honorably discharged, Oct. 26, 1864. At the 
close of the war, he settled in New Orleans, La., where 
he continued the practice of his profession. He was at 
one time Judge of the Sixth District, that city. Subse- 
quently, he engaged in railroad promotion in Texas, but 
the climate disagreed with his already failing health and 
compelled him to give up the business. He accepted a 



334 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

position in the New Orleans custom house, which posi- 
tion he held at the time of his death, June 22, 1881. Major 
Frye was a member of the Society of the Cincinnati and 
of other patriotic organizations. His only son, Frederick 
Frye, Jr., died of yellow fever at New Orleans, Nov. 3, 
1867, aged eleven years. The Major was survived by his 
wife and two daughters, the latter being Mrs. George 
Curtis-Waldo, of Bridgeport, Ct., and Mrs. John Wesley 
Hillman, of Hope Villa, East Baton Rouge Parish, La. 
Mrs. Frye, widow of the Major, died at Bridgeport, Ct., 
in Nov., 1895.

in Derby, Ct., where he married, Mary Monaghan, a 
native of the County Cavan, Ireland, and successfully en- 
gaged in the grocery business until 1857. He then went 
to California, and spent three years in the gold fields, meet-

furnished many officers to the army of the Union. He 
enlisted in Company C, Ninth regiment, Aug, 20, 1861 ; 
was mustered as first lieutenant, Oct. 30, that year, and

Upon the consolidation of the regiment into the Ninth 
battalion, in Oct., 1864, he being the senior captain was

given command of the latter. He was promoted lieu- 
tenant-colonel, Dec. I, 1864, and was mustered out with 
the battalion in Aug., 1865. He participated with the 
Ninth in many important events of the Civil war, and 
proved himself a very superior officer. Since the war, 
he has been vice-president of the Nineteenth Army Corps 
Association and was selected by the executive committee 
to present the testimonials of the Association, on the 
demise of Gen. Phil. Sheridan and Gen. W. H. Emory, 
to their widows. In 1866, Col. Healy, in company with 
Capt. Lawrence O'Brien and Lieut. Joseph H. Lawler, of 
the Ninth, C. V., went to Ireland, in connection with the 
Fenian movement, in which many other veteran officers 
of the Union army participated. Col. Healy was arrested 
in the city of Limerick and was a prisoner in the hands 
of the British for six months. On his return to New 
Haven, he was given a great ovation. He was subse- 
quently Assistant Adjutant-General, with the rank of 
Colonel, on the staff of Gov. Luzon B. Morris, of Con- 
necticut, and has always enjoyed a high degree of popu- 
larity in the state. Col. Healy is a member of the Alili- 
tary Order of the Loyal Legion, of the Army and Navy 
Club of Connecticut, of Admiral Foote Post, G. A. R., 
New Haven, and of the Second Company of the Gover- 
nor's Foot Guard. Since the Civil War closed, he has 
been a member of the New Haven board of aldermen, 
for two years, and superintendent of gas and lamps, in 
that city, for six years. He resigned this latter position to 
become superintendent of the folding department of the 
U. S. House of Representatives, occupying the position 
four years. He is at present engaged in the insurance 
business. Still vigorous and active, he undertook, upon 
the outbreak of our recent war with Spain, to organize 
an Irish regiment. He communicated with the Governor 
of Connecticut and received much encouragement. The 
New Haven Leader, May 3, 1898, stated that "As the 
result of a visit to Governor Cooke at Hartford last week 



WAJi OF THE REBELLION, iSbi-1865. 339 

Colonel John G. Healy is accepting applications from 
men who want to enlist in a regiment which the colonel 
intends to organize. Within a day or two Colonel Healy 
expects to receive from Adjutant-General Haven author- 
ity to enlist men for his regiment. Already, it is stated, 
that, without the receipt of authority from the Governor, 
nearly fifty men have applied to the colonel to be num- 
bered among the volunteers which the colonel will turn 
over to the service of the state if they are needed. When 
the war preparations begun Colonel Healy formally of- 
fered his services to the governor and promised to raise a 
regiment of volunteers to be composed of Irish-Ameri- 
cans or men of Irish extraction. Until last week the 
colonel has had no further communication with the Gov- 
ernor about the proposed Irishmen's regiment. Last 
Wednesday he went to Hartford and had a long talk with 
the Governor and with Colonel Landers, the assistant 
adjutant-general. Adjutant General Haven was in Wash- 
ington on that day and it was impossible for Colonel 
Healy to see him. When Colonel Healy explained his 
purpose to the Governor the latter expressed pleasure at 
the proposition and gave his unqualified approval of it. 
The situation with regard to the proposed organization 
was gone over with both the Governor and Colonel 
Landers, the latter also approving of the plan. Colonel 
Healy's idea was to have the proposed regiment organ- 
ized and in readiness to respond to a call when its turn 
came after the National Guard had been given its chance. 
He told Colonel Landers that he could furnish a fighting 
regiment and have it ready to take the field when the 
call came. The Governor practically told him to go 
ahead and get ready for it. So much assurance was given 
him that his plan was approved that Colonel Healy is 
confident that he will receive authority to proceed with 
the enlistment within a short time. Yesterday he wrote 
to Colonel Landers asking for the desired authority and 
expects to hear favorably from the assistant adjutant gen- 



340

eral shortly. Upon receipt of it he will detail men with 
authority to enlist men and have them constantly on hand 
for that purpose. At present applications are being made 
personally to him. A number of men have offered their 
services to take applications for enlistment. Colonel 
Healy said this morning that his design was to recruit 
three companies in New Haven and have the other com- 
panies from different cities. He has already been in com- 
munication with prominent Irish-Americans in Water- 
bury, Bridgeport, Naugatuck, Middletown and other 
places, who want to enlist companies in their respective 
cities to join Colonel Healy's proposed regiment. As 
soon as the desired authority is received Colonel Healy 
will notify the men to proceed to accept enlistments. He 
says men in all parts of the state will be given an oppor- 
tunity to enlist." Later, a recruiting office was opened 
at 99 Congress Ave., New Haven, with Capt. J. H. Mc- 
Govern in charge, and another at 240 Hamilton St., in 
charge of James H. Cannon. At one time, five compa- 
nies were in process of being recruited. The unexpectedly 
brief duration of the war, however, rendered the pro- 
jected regiment unnecessary. Speaking of his services 
in the Civil war, Dr. Rollin McNeil, of New Haven, pays 
the following tribute to Col. Healy: "As surgeon 
of the Ninth Connecticut Veteran Volunteers, I was 
thrown into most intimate relations with him, and the 
friendship that resulted has continued during all the long 
years since the Civil War. His bravery in the field is a 
matter of record. The day Sheridan made his famous 
ride. Col. Healy was in the forefront, the colors in his 
hand. I don't think he ever knew the meaning of the 
word 'fear.' He led his men in battle ; he cared for 
them in camp, and on the march, with a solicitude that 
won their affection. A thorough disciplinarian, when 
discipline was necessary, he stood always for the 
rights of his men, and the honor of the command. I can 
recall nothing but pleasant memories of the days when 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 341 

we marched and camped together. We were boys then ; 
we are gray-haired veterans now, yet we stiU touch 
elbows with the few old comrades — noble fellows all of 
them — who are still this side of the great divide, proud of 
our regiment, proud of its record, drawing closer to each

Kansas, left there in 1869 and went to San Antonio, 
Texas, where with four others he purchased a four-mule 
team, hired a Mexican driver, and started on the most 
perilous trip he had yet undertaken. It was no less than 
a ride through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Cali- 
fornia. The Comanches were out in Texas, the 
Apaches in New Mexico and Arizona, and the party un- 
derwent many hardships. They had to be ever on the 
alert, for the Indians were on the war path. They got 
to San Barnadino, Cal., minus the four mules and wagon, 
but still had their riding horses and arms, but very little

by a mining firm to report on mining property in Mex- 
ico ; lived in Mexico about two years, proceeded to Cen- 
tral America and from there to Chili and Peru. He re- 
turned to Arizona and worked for the government in the 
construction of military posts, for several years, a portion 
of the time in the Interior Department, and another por- 
tion in the Quartermaster's Department. He was at the 
San Carlos agency when the Apaches broke out. He 
became well acquainted with the canons of the Colorado, 
and served as guide for exploring parties in that region.

of the Ninth he was popularly known as "Father Leo." 
Upon his arrival in this country, he was assigned to the 
diocese of Hartford, Ct., and was made a curate of St. 
Mary's church. New Haven, by Bishop McFarland. 
"Many will remember," says an obituary notice, "the en- 
thusiastic and heartfelt welcome which the remnant of the 
regiment tendered the chaplain who came to Hartford 
on Battle Flag Day not to ride in a carriage, an honor 
to which his station entitled him, but to stand, where he 
always stood, among the men, to march with them 
through the streets of the city as he had marched with 
them through the fields of battle" Upon his return from 
the war, Father Leo was sent to build up the Winsted, 
Ct., parish and did his work very thoroughly. His 
obsequies were of a very impressive nature and took 
place at St. Joseph's church, Winsted, Nov. 6, 1897. 
The services began at 10 a. m., with a solemn Pontifical 
Mass. The office of the dead was chanted by the Rev. 
Father Murphy of Manchester, assisted by the Rev. 
Fathers McElroy of Derby, Quinn of Collinsville and 
Lynch of Waterbury. Bishop Tierney, of Hartford, cele- 
brated Mass and was assisted by deacons of honor, Rev. 
T. W. Broderick of Hartford, and Rev. Father Kennedy 
of Norwich ; deacon of the Mass, Rev. W. J. Slocum of

mingham as censor bearer. In comphance with the wish 
of Father Leo there was no funeral sermon. Bishop Bev- 
ins of Springfield, Mass., administered absolution in the 
church and the Very Rev. Father Anacletus of New York 
gave absolution at the grave. The honorary pall bearers 
representing the Ninth Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers, 
of which Father Leo was chaplain, were Col. Fitz Gibbon 
of Bridgeport, Col. John G. Healy, Capt. Michael Mc- 
Carten and Lieut. William O'Keefe of New Haven, 
Sergt. Michael Cronan and Corp. M. P. Coen of Nauga- 
tuck, and Color Bearer Frank Lynch of Meriden. In- 
stead of bringing flowers and other decorations as a tri- 
bute, the Ninth Regiment association brought a beauti- 
ful silk flag of regulation size, with the inscription printed 
thereon in golden letters, "Veterans of the Ninth Regi- 
ment, Connecticut Volunteers." The flag was mounted 
upon a sectional pole of oak surmounted by an eagle and 
tassels and was presented with a touching address by Col. 
John G. Healy of New Haven in behalf of the regiment. 
It was accepted in behalf of the Franciscan order by 
Father Anacletus, ex-provincial of the order, in words 
very fitting to the occasion and which expressed great 
feeling. The honorary pall bearers from the Franciscans 
were the Very Rev. Father Anacletus, Rev. Father Julius, 
Rev. Father McCabe, Rev. Father Daniel, of New York 
city. Rev. Father Pamphilus, guardian of the Mother 
House in Allegany, N. Y., and Rev. Father Cyprian of

OF THE PRESENT SURVIVORS OF THE NINTH. 

A MONUMENT to the Ninth regiment stands in 
Bay View Park, New Haven. It was unveiled 
and dedicated on Wednesday, Aug. 5, 1903. The exer- 
cises were of a most impressive nature. The structure 
is a noble memorial, and is located on the site of the first 
encampment of the regiment, — the rendezvous of the 
Ninth before the latter's departure for the front. 

The monument is over eighteen feet in height and 
is constructed of granite quarried at Barre, Vt. On the 
faces are bronze tablets bearing the names of the officers 
and men of the command who lost their lives in the ser- 
vice. The figure of a soldier surmounts the pedestal, 
the whole effect being eminently appropriate. On the 
base of the monument are displayed the names of leading 
engagements in which the command took part. Four 
Dahlgren brass guns, fastened to bed plates, surround 
the memorial, and were donated by the United States 
government. The builder of this imposing monument 
was J. R. Maxwell of New Haven. The entire cost was 
in the neighborhood of $4,500, of which amount $1,000 
was given by the State of Connecticut, the rest being 
realized by popular subscription. 

The monument was erected under the auspices of the 
Veteran Association of the Ninth, the committee having 
charge of the work being :

Col. John G. Healy, New Haven, President. 
Col. Richard Fitz Gibbon, Bridgeport, Chairman. 
Corp. Michael P. Coen, Naugatuck, Secretary-Treasurer. 
Capt. Lawrence O'Brien, New Haven. 
Lieut. William Gleeson, New Haven. 
Prin. Mus. John E. Healy, New Haven. 

The committee performed its work in the most thor- 
ough manner. It was splendidly assisted by the other 
surviving veterans of the Ninth and by an appreciative 
public. The committee decided to have the dedicatory 
exercises take place Aug. 5, 1903, the anniversary of the 
battle of Baton Rouge, in which the Ninth participated. 

The dedicatory programme, as arranged, provided for 
a great military and civic parade in which some 6,000 or 
8,000 men were to take part, and other appropriate fea- 
tures. The following civilian, or citizens, committee of 
New Haven gentlemen, was appointed to assist in carry- 
ing out the programme : 

Hon. James P. Pigott, Chairman. 

Thomas M. Cahill, M.D., Vice-Chairman. 

Hon. James P. Bree, Secretary. 

James F. Brennan, Treasurer.

consisting of Messrs. Thomas C. Bracken, Phelps Mont-

gomery, Charles C. Spryer, James R. Maxwell and 
James E. Wheeler. The G. A. R. committee con- 
sisted of Willis B. Isbell, Daniel B. Horton and Philip 
Ryan. 

Major John O. Tilson, of New Haven, was appointed 
chief marshal of the procession, the selection being a 
most excellent one. 

The New Haven Register, in its issue of Sunday, July 
19, 1903, stated that : "The monument is now in place, 
draped in canvas, and will remain hidden from the pub- 
lic eye until it is unveiled the day set for the dedication, 
Wednesday, August 5. It stands 18 feet, eight inches 
high. The base is eight feet square, 18 inches high, upon 
which rests another smaller base upon which are cut on 
the four sides the words. New Orleans, Cedar Creek, 
Fisher's Hill and Baton Rouge, in each of which places 
the regiment distinguished itself during the war of the 
Rebellion. Then there is a third, still smaller base. Then 
on the die is cut the coat-of-arms of the State of Connecti- 
cut and surmounting the monument is a life-size figure 
of a soldier resting upon his gun. The entire work is 
well executed and is highly creditable to the contractor, 
who is a rising young local business man. 

"The preparations for the exercises and ceremonies 
planned in connection with the dedication are now near- 
ing completion, but the program in all its details is not 
yet ready and will not be for several days. Several im- 
portant features, however, have been decided upon. 
After the unveiling of the monument it will be formally 
turned over to the city of New Haven by some one not 
yet designated, in a short formal speech. Mayor Studley, 
on behalf of the city, will accept the trust. The opening 
dedicatory prayer will be said by the Rev. J. J. Gleeson, 
the successor of the late Father Florence de Bruycker in 
Willimantic, and whose two brothers, Lieut. William 
Gleeson of this city, and another served with the Ninth 
through the war. 



JVAJ^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 359 

"The orator, as has been already stated, will be the 
Rev. William J- Slocum, pastor of the Immaculate Con- 
ception church of Waterbury. The Rev. Watson L. 
Phillips, pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, of this 
city, will deliver the closing prayer. While in this city 
Father Slocum will be the guest of the Rev. P. M. Ken- 
nedy. * * * " 

"Major John Q. Tilson, who is to be the grand marshal 
of the day, has not yet appointed his aides, but will do 
so in a few days. Former Governor Morgan G. Bulke- 
ley, com.mander of the Grand Army of Connecticut, will 
command the veterans in the parade and has postponed 
his trip to California to attend the national encampment 
of the G. A. R. at San Francisco from August 3, when it 
was planned to start, until August 8, so as to attend the 
dedication of the monument to the Ninth. The speak- 
ing at the dedication will be confined to the formal trans- 
fer and acceptance of the monument and the oration of 
Father Slocum. So many distinguished men will be 
present, among them United States Senator Piatt, Gov- 
ernor Chamberlain and staff, ex-Governor Bulkeley, 
Congressmen Sperry, Lilley and others, that it would be 
impossible to hear addresses from all of them. 

"A few days ago Colonel Healy ordered of J. B. Cun- 
ningham a silk American flag for use of the headquarters 
staff on the occasion of the parade. It was delivered yes- 
terday, and when the price was asked, Mr. Cunningham 
generously said he wished to donate it as a gift. It is a 
rich, heavy, beautiful flag and a fine work of art. The 
gift is much appreciated by the Monument Association. 
Professor Benjamin Jepson yesterday sent a letter to 
Colonel Healy requesting the publication of the fact that 
a rehearsal by the 600 schoolboys who will sing at the 
dedication, will be held in the new High School audi- 
torium on Monday, August 2, at 9 o'clock a. m. After 
the rehearsal the silk flags presented by Colonel Cheney 
for the occasion will be distributed among the boys. The

contribution during the week of $500 to the monument 
fund assures the success of the committee in the collec- 
tion of sufficient funds, but a considerable sum is still 
needed." 

Wishing- to give additional eclat to the occasion, the 
American-Irish Historical Society decided to have its 
annual field day in New Haven on the date mentioned. 
The following notice was sent to each member of the So- 
ciety : 



IVAJi OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 361 



AMERICAN-IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 

(Founded, 1897. First President-General, Rear Admiral 
R. W. Meade, U. S. N.) 



NOTICE OF THE ANNUAL FIELD DAY. 



Dear Sir and Brother: 

The annual Field Day of our Society will take place on 
Wednesday, August 5, 1903, in New Haven, Conn. 

Headquarters will be established at the Tontine Hotel, 
which faces the Yale University campus and the city 
green. A reception committee of New Haven members 
of the Society will be in attendance during the day and 
evening. The city is well supplied with hotels, and mem- 
bers of our organization who do not engage rooms at the 
Tontine can be accommodated at the Oneco and other 
excellent places. 

The occasion will be one of great interest and enjoy- 
ment. On the same day and in the same city a battle 
monument overlooking Long Island sound, will be un- 
veiled and dedicated by the Ninth Veteran Association, 
Connecticut Volunteer Infantry. The Field Day of the 
Historical Society will form a very important part of the 
exercises attending the dedication of this monument. 

The Ninth Connecticut was an Irish regiment, organ- 
ized in 1861, and served for three years. It comprised 
ten companies, was commanded by Col. Thomas W. 
Cahill, and was attached to the Nineteenth Army Corps. 
At the expiration of its period of service the re-enlisted 
veterans of the regiment were organized into the Ninth 
battalion, C. V., and were commanded by Lieut. Col. 
John G. Healy, being mustered out in August, 1865. 



362 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

The number of enlistments into the Ninth, from first 
to last, was 1,606 oflEicers and men. The command par- 
ticipated with Farragiit and Butler in the capture of New 
Orleans, was at the battle of Baton Rouge, served under 
Sheridan in the Shenandoah valley, was present at the 
battles of Winchester and Fisher's Hill, and in other 
engagements. 

The American-Irish Historical Society, wishing to 
honor the survivors of this gallant regiment, has decided 
to hold the annual field day of the organization at the 
time and place above mentioned. The Regimental As- 
sociation has very kindly assigned us a prominent posi- 
tion in the dedicatory programme and has appointed a 
reception committee to act in conjunction with a similar 
committee from our Society. 

The New Haven committee of our organization con- 
sists of Col. John G. Healy, Hon. James P. Bree, state 
auditor of Connecticut ; Hon. C. T. Driscoll, Dr. Stephen 
J. Maher, Frank W. Foley, James A. Fogarty, Capt. 
Lawrence O'Brien, John P. Farrell, and several other 
prominent gentlemen. 

It is believed that the exercises of the day will attract 
from 25,000 to 50,000 visitors to New Haven. The Sec- 
retary of the Navy may assign a battleship to take part 
in the monument programme. The exercises will in- 
clude a civic, military, and naval parade, with the sailors 
and marines from the battleship among those in line. 
There will be singing by 600 children of the New Haven 
schools, public and private, and many other features of 
interest. 

Among the military organizations in line will be the 
Second Company, Governor's Foot Guard ; the Second 
Regiment, C. N. G. ; the Hibernian Rifle Regiment, and 
other organizations. One division will include the Grand 
Army posts of Connecticut and another the Con- 
necticut Knights of Columbus. The Governor of Con- 
necticut has accepted an invitation to be present, accom- 



IVAR OF THE /REBELLION, 1861-1863. 363 

panied by his stafif, and among the other guests will be 
the president of Yale University, U. S. senators and con- 
gressmen, state officials, representatives of the Catholic 
and Protestant clergy, and other people of note. 

In the evening, our Society and its guests will dine at 
the Tontine. There will be a reception beginning at 6.30 
p. m. and lasting until 8 p. m., when dinner will be served. 

Tickets for the dinner will be three dollars each, and 
are now ready for delivery. 

Members of the Society are at liberty to bring personal 
guests. The number is not limited. 

Kindly inform the secretary, upon receipt of this, 
whether you intend to participate with us in the forth- 
coming exercises. We hope to have the pleasure of your 
attendance. Fraternally,

President-General.

Among the special invitations sent out by the Society 
was one to the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, president of 
the United States. The following was his reply : 

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. 

Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 29, 1903. 

My Dear Mr. Murray : I wish I could be present 
with you on the occasion of the annual field day of the 
American-Irish Historical Society. 

From early colonial days the Irish have been one of 
the great factors in our growth as a nation. Naturally, 
I take a particular interest in what they have contributed 
to our National history, inasmuch as I am myself of part

Irish blood. From the days of SulHvan in the Revolu- 
tionary War to those of Sheridan in the Civil War, the 
Irish element in our country, conspicuous everywhere, 
has been especially prominent in deeds of arms ; and, 
therefore, it is peculiarly appropriate that the meeting of 
your society this year should be to commemorate the 
record of an Irish regiment in our great war. 

Sincerely yours, 

Theodore Roosevelt.

The New Haven Register in its issue of Aug. i, noted 
that "On Wednesday of next week New Haven will be 
given over to the Ninth regiment, Connecticut Volun- 
teers. A monument will be unveiled in its honor, the city 
will be filled with veterans and active militiamen, and the 
state will be represented by Governor Chamberlain and 
his military stafi*. It will be a great occasion. Upon an 
occasion of this significance it is the duty of New Haven 



WAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 375 

to put on its best attire and throw into the observance of 
the day its best and most enthusiastic spirit. The regi- 
ment, whose services are to be memorialized and made as 
immortal as granite can make them, has a fine place in 
the affection and gratitude of the nation. * * * 

"New Haven, on Wednesday, should recall the services 
of this regiment and honor it by the display everywhere 
of the flag it did so much to uphold. * * * 

"We have no doubt the management of the celebration 
has made the necessary arrangements to have the streets 
emptied of surface cars and other vehicles during the 
parade. If not, the mayor should be appealed to to issue 
the necessary proclamation. Even at the complete dis- 
turbance of the time table, the gallant soldiers of the ex- 
Ninth, and their military guests, should be given the ex- 
clusive right of way through the streets they march. Let 
all conceivable honor be done the Nintl^' 

The next day, Aug. 2, the Register stated that "Every- 
thing is in readiness for one of the greatest military re- 
unions ever held in New Haven, the celebration of the 
Ninth Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers, which will oc- 
cur Wednesday. Already red, white and blue colors are 
being thrown out, and by Tuesday evening, if citizens 
respond as liberally as they are expected to, the whole 
line of march will be resplendent with United States flags. 
Briefly, the exercises will include a monster parade in 
the morning, with unveiling exercises at the Bay View 
park." 

On Aug. 3, the Register said : "Bay View park to-day 
assumed the appearance of a camp ground. Big tents 
where the veterans are to be cared for after the parade, 
were pitched and carpenters are at work erecting grand 
stands near the monument for those who will take part 
in the exercises, on Wednesday next, at the unveiling of 
the Ninth regiment, C. V., monument. 

"This morning Colonel John G. Healy received word 
from Capt. J. D. Shea of Naugatuck, stating that the 



376 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Hibernian rifles of that town would take part in the 
parade. This will make three uniformed companies of 
the A. O. H. that will be here. Col. T. J. Murphy of the 
A. O. H. will be in the parade at the head of the A. O. H. 
organizations and will have as aides, Capt. E. J. Joy, 
Lieut. J. H. Rooney and Lieut. William H. Dwyer. 

"The following order has been issued by Post Com- 
mander James Forbes : 

Headquarters Kellogg Post, No. 26, G. A. R. of 
Derby. 

All the comrades of Kellogg post are earnestly re- 
quested to attend the dedication of the monument of the 
Ninth Connecticut volunteers on the old camp ground, 
New Haven, Wednesday, August 5. The comrades will 
report at the Berkshire depot, Derby, at 8.30 a. m., 
Wednesday, August 5. 

All those that have uniforms will come in full uniform, 
cane and white gloves. 

Railroad fares have been fixed at a fare and one-half 
for round trip. The department commander wishes all 
the comrades to be there.

Post Commander. 

"Edward Croft, commander of the Connecticut divi- 
sion, Sons of Veterans, U. S. A., has issued the following

mand at the dedication of the Ninth Regiment monument 
at New Haven, Wednesday : 

Special Order, No. 3, 1903. 

Waterbury, July 29, 1903. 

I. All camps and members who are to take part in 
the parade and dedication of the monument of the Ninth 
regiment, C. V., will report in New Haven, August 5th, 
at 9.30 a. m., Room 15, Insurance building, to Adjutant 
F. H. McGar, who will assign them their proper places in 
the parade. 



IVAH OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 377 

II. All members who can possibly attend are urged to 
do so. 

III. Staff officers will report in full uniform, side arms 
and white gloves. 

"Captain C. W. Roberts, commanding Stedman Camp, 
No. 6, S. of v., has issued orders directing all members 
of his camp who intend to go to New Haven to report to 
him at once. 

"The Irish flag is conspicuous in the decorations about 
town. Something unique in decorations is arranged by 
Maj. George E. Albee at his residence on Howard Ave- 
nue. As part of the decorations at his house he has an 
Irish pike, a weapon used in the Irish insurrection in 
1798. Major Albee is preparing a decoration which he 
says will be 'dear to the hearts of all members of the 
Ninth, C. V.' " 

The Waterbury, Ct., American, of Aug. 4, had the fol- 
lowing: "New Haven will witness one of the greatest 
days in its history to-morrow when the ceremony of un- 
veiling the monument in honor of the Ninth Regiment, 
Connecticut Volunteers, will take place. Military cUid 
other organizations from all over the State will be present. 
"Company G, Second Regiment, C. N. G., of this city 
will run an excursion to that city to-morrow. The train 
will leave the Naugatuck Division station at 8.30 o'clock 
in the morning and will leave New Haven to-morrow 
night at 9.10 o'clock. A large number of Waterbury 
people will accompany the company on the trip. 

"In addition to the above company, about 200 mem- 
bers of the Knights of Columbus will attend from this 
city, and in New Haven they will join a number of 
other Knights from other places through the State. 
Members of the Sons of Veterans of this city, as well as 
members of the organization from other places in the 
State, will also be in attendance. The American Band 
will head Company G. 



378 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTR V. 

"Among those from this city who will attend are the 
Rev. William J. Slocum, who wull be the orator of the 
day; Maj. Charles R. Bannon, captain of police; Col. 
John B. Doherty, and Attorney M. J. Bryne. The last 
three named will be aides on the stafif of Grand Marshal 
Tilson. 

"Flags and bunting are being hung for decorative pur- 
pose with a liberal hand in New Haven to-day, to give a 
holiday aspect to the city's principal streets in anticipa- 
tion of the parade and monument exercises of the old 
Ninth. 

"Plans have been fully matured for the two chief fea- 
tures — the parade and the unveiling and dedication of the 
granite memorial at Bay View park — and with good 
weather the day promises to be a notable one. Not a lit- 
tle interest is taken in the several reunions of the sur- 
vivors of the famous Civil War regiment and all day 
veterans came to the city to renew acquaintances. 

"The hotels are filling up and many citizens are enter- 
taining visitors. At the Tontine, members of the Ameri- 
can-Irish Historical Society are gathering and they, too, 
will attend the monument exercises. * * * 

The following is from the New Haven Register, of 
Aug. 4: "The coverings of canvas upon the figure of 
the soldier 'at rest' upon the monument of the Ninth 
regiment, C. V., in Bay View park, was removed this 
afternoon and the monument was draped instead with the 
American colors. These will remain until the strings are 
pulled to-morrow and the monument formally unveiled. 
Col. John G. Healy, chairman of the monument com- 
mittee, said to-day that all arrangements had been com- 
pleted for the dedication to-morrow. It will be a great 
day for New Haven and as many of the manufacturing 
concerns are to close it will almost be a general holiday 
in the city. 

"Police Captains Tripp and O'Keefe [and Supt. James 
Wrinn] were at Bay View park this morning, completing 



IVAJ^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 379 

the arrangements for the poHcing of the territory and 
roping off the park for the organizations that will par- 
ticipate. The hospital tents and the big spread of canvas 
in which the veterans are to be given luncheon after the 
parade are up. Members of the Ninth regiment are be- 
ginning to arrive in town. Many of them called at the 
headquarters at the Hotel Oneco this afternoon. In the 
parade to-morrow the survivors of the Ninth regiment 
will carry an Irish flag belonging to Company C, Second 
regiment, which has been loaned to the veterans by the 
company. 

"This morning Prof. Benjamin Jepson had the school 
children's chorus * * * jn the stand at Bay View park 
for an open air rehearsal. The Ninth regiment monu- 
ment committee met in city hall last evening. There was 
a large attendance and all the sub-committees reported 
that everything had been done to make the affair a suc- 
cess. It was voted that refreshments be provided for the 
old G. A. R. veterans who should arrive on early trains 
from out of town. The line of march has been somewhat 
changed, two blocks being left out, so as to make a 
shorter march." 

The Waterbury, Ct., Democrat, in its issue of Aug. 4, 
under the head of "Naugatuck," calls attention to the 
fact that : "To-morrow the Ninth C. V. regiment monu- 
ment will be dedicated in New Haven. It will be a big 
day in New Haven, people coming from all over the state 
to the Elm City to witness the ceremonies. A large quota 
will go from this borough. The special has been secured 
to take the local people to New Haven. It will leave the 
local depot at about 8.30 a. m. and returning leave New 
Haven at 9 p. m. The fare for the round trip is 75 cents, 
the tickets being good on any train returning. Tickets 
are now on sale at the passenger station or can be pro- 
cured from members of the committees from the three 
local societies which are to take part in the parade. The 
Y. M. C. I., the Knights of Columbus and the Hibernian 



38o NINTH REGIMENT CONN VOL. INFANTRY. 

Rifles of this town are to take part in the exercises. The 
Y. M. C. I. have had a large banner of royal purple with 
g-old trimmings, 30x50 inches, made, and they have hired 
the Naugatuck drum corps to furnish music for them. 
The banner, which is a handsome one, was made by Miss 
May Dooling, the well known local dressmaker. The 
Hibernian Rifles will be accompanied by the St. Francis' 
T. A. B. drum corps. Persons desiring tickets for the 
special train should procure them before Wednesday 
morning if possible so as to avoid the rush at the depot." 

The New Haven Palladium, Aug. 5, observes : "This 
is the day on which we pay tribute to the memory of 
those members of the gallant Ninth regiment, Connecti- 
cut Volunteers, who gave their lives and health, or at 
least tendered them to the cause of their country in sus- 
taining the integrity of the Union in the perilous times 
from 1861 to 1864, inclusive. Not only do we commem- 
orate the death of the soldiers who have gone before, but 
we offer our praise and gratitude to the surviving mem- 
bers of the 'Irish regiment' who are still with us to 
receive the plaudits of the younger generation and of 
their contemporaries, who can perhaps more fully appre- 
ciate the value of the efforts which were put forth, and 
with a successful issue, when the Union was badly in 
need of men, than can those of us who have only history 
and the reminiscences of our fathers to keep us informed 
of the conditions which existed forty-two years ago. 

"The record of the Ninth is a good one and every sur- 
viving member may well feel proud that he was enrolled 
in this, one of the first volunteer regiments to offer its 
services to the government. * * * 

New Haven does well to honor the living and the dead 
of the Ninth and we trust that every owner of the national 
colors will see that they are flung to the breeze to-day. 
That much active participation each possessor of an 
American flag can take in the celebration of the day." 

The morning of Aug. 5, the day set for the celebration. 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1865. 381 

dawned cloudy and wet. It had rained heavily during 
the night and the downpour still continued. 

At breakfast time the heavy rain showed no signs of 
abating and expressions of regret were everywhere heard. 
The elaborate decorations on Howard avenue, Church 
street, and in other parts of the city drooped in the storm 
and lost much of their gayety. Rivulets ran along the 
streets and pools of water formed here and there, making 
conditions as bad underfoot as they were overhead. 
Umbrellas were in demand. 

A high wind also prevailed and the great elms on the 
city green tossed their branches, at the same time send- 
ing down showers upon the passers-by. The open elec- 
tric cars with their half drawn curtains presented a dreary 
spectacle. The seats were wet and most of the passen- 
gers rode in a standing position. The weather forecast 
was frequently consulted, and the hope expressed that 
the climatic conditions would clear before 10 a. m. 

But the rain still came down. As the morning ad- 
vanced, telephone messages came from dififerent parts of 
the State inquiring if the parade would take place. In 
the meantime, the committee having charge of the exer- 
cises was in session to decide on a course of action. After 
the matter had been thoroughly discussed, the storm still 
continuing, it was decided not to have the street parade. 
It was also determined to have the principal exercises in 
the Second Regiment armory on Meadow street, a detail 
in the meantime being sent to Bay View park to unveil 
the monument. 

Speaking of these events, the New Haven Evening 
Leader of Aug. 5, said: "On account of the inclement 
weather to-day the program was somewhat changed. 
Early this morning the committee hoped that the weather 
would be sufficiently clear to enable them to at least have 
a short street parade of the local militia as well as the 
numerous out of town societies which arrived in this city 
early this morning. 



382 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

"At ten o'clock there was no prospect of the weather 
clearing and the weather man holding out no hope for 
sunshine the rest of the day, the order of the day's exer- 
cises was completely changed about. It was decided to 
give up the idea of a formal street procession and the 
members of the Ninth regiment went to Music hall, on 
Court street, establishing headquarters at that place. 

"Early this morning the Second Company Governor's 
Foot Guard, marched to the depot to act as escort to the 
Governor and his staff. He arrived about 9.30 and was 
taken immediately to the Hotel Tontine. The Governor 
was taken to the reception room at the hotel and held a 
short reception to the members of the Ninth and the 
civilians present. 

"Several organizations having arrived from out of town 
at this point they were instructed to make the armory 
their headquarters, as the exercises were to be held there. 

"The problem to be solved by the committee and which 
was done in a very pleasing manner to the veterans of the 
Ninth, was the decision of the committee to transport the 
veterans to Bay View Park and have them unveil the 
monument. Miss Kathleen O'Keefe, daughter of Captain 
of Police O'Keefe, a former member of the Ninth reg't, 
and Thomas Marshall Cahill Egan, a grandson of Colonel 
Thomas W. Cahill, were taken in a hack to the park to 
perform the act of unveiling the monument. 

"When the members of the Ninth reached the park, 
there was a crowd of fully 700 people assembled to wit- 
ness the ceremony. Several detachments of the Sons of 
Veterans were at the park and acted as a guard during 
the ceremonies. It was pouring rain at this time. 

"Colonel John G. Healy made a few brief remarks at 
the monument and then the two young people were lifted 
so that they could pull the rope that would let down the 
American flag which had been spread over the monu- 
ment. As if difficulties were still to be in the way of a 
successful carrying out of the committee's program, the 



IVAR OF THE REBELl^ION, 1861-1863. 383 

rope refused to let down the flag. Then Master Egan 
climbed to the top of the monument, and amid the cheers 
of the crowd, lowered the flag, revealing the monument. 
Three cheers were given at the grounds by the crowd 
present. 

"The feature of having the veterans ride to the park 
and unveil the monument despite all the obstacles was 
one of the pleasing things of the day. It was with de- 
light that the veterans went out to the grounds and they 
were much pleased that they could participate in the un- 
veiling, despite the rain. * * * About 10.30 o'clock, 
after it was announced that the parade was declared off, 
the reviewing stand erected in front of city hall was 
taken down and carted to a place in the rear of the build- 
ing. It was tastefully decorated with the national colors 
all ready for the city's officials who were to review the 
parade." 

The exercises at the armory were of a most interesting 
nature. A platform had been erected in the center of the 
great drill hall for the speakers and specially invited 
guests. At the corners of the platform was posted a 
guard of honor, consisting of members of the Governor's 
Foot Guard in full uniform. On the platform was seated 
the committee of arrangements, Governor Chamberlain 
and his staflf, the Rev. William J. Slocum, orator of the 
day; the Rev. James J. Gleeson, of Willimantic, and a 
number of other prominent people. 

Around the platform was assembled a great and en- 
thusiastic multitude of both sexes. In one of the galleries 
were stationed several hundred boys of the public 
schools, to whom was assigned the rendering of the great 
choruses. At intervals, the bands in the armory rendered 
patriotic selections. 

The New Haven Palladium in its account of the exer- 
cises states that: "As soon as the committee which un- 
veiled the monument returned from the park, the pro- 
gram of exercises was opened. The west gallery of the 



384 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

hall was filled with the boys of the public * * * * 
schools, who furnished the vocal music, and it was one 
of the chief features of the affair. The chorus was directed 
from the speaker's platform by Professor Benjamin 
Jepson, and the voices were accompanied by the band. 
The boys were in perfect harmony and entered into the 
spirit of the occasion in a manner which resulted in the 
commendation of all present. 

"At the conclusion of the singing of 'Hail Columbia' 
by the chorus, Col. John G. Healy, president of the Ninth 
Regiment Veteran association, made a short address of 
welcome. 

Prayer was offered by the Rev. James J. Gleeson. Miss 
O'Keefe and Master E'gan, who had participated in the 
unveiling of the monument, were then presented and were 
greeted with applause. 

Governor Chamberlain was next introduced. He made 
a spirited address and reviewed some of the achieve- 
ments of the Ninth on the field of battle and spoke 
strongly of their love of country, and of the many great 
sacrifices they had made for the preservation of the 
Union. He paid a glowing tribute to Colonel Cahill and 
Colonel Healy and to those members of the Ninth who 
died in the service of their country. Speaking of the 
monument, the Governor said it would do much good tcv 
the generations to come as an example of patriotism of 
a band of men who endured great hardships in defence 
of the nation. 

The Governor at the conclusion of his address called 
for three cheers for the Ninth and for Colonel Healy. 
They were given with a will. 

The Rev. William J. Slocum, of Waterbury, orator of 
the day, was next introduced. He was cordially greeted 
and delivered an eloquent address. He called attention 
to the time 42 years ago when the members of regiments 
were assembled on the green, that it was then as it is 
to-day, that Prof. Benjamin Jepson led the patriotic sing- 



IV A R OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 385 

ing. This remark brought forth a round of applause for 
the veteran teacher of music in the pubUc schools, Pro- 
fessor Jepson. Three cheers were given at the solicita- 
tion of Father Slocum, for the Professor. 

Speaking of his position as chaplain of the Veteran 
Association of the Ninth, Father Slocum stated that he 
was not in the Ninth during the war. He was then but 
a boy. He desired to pay tribute, however, to the 
real chaplains, the Rev. Daniel Mullen and Rev. Leo 
(Rizzo) De Saracena, both of whom are now dead. 

Father Slocum reviewed the history of the Ninth, its 
organization and the career, during that period, of Con- 
necticut's governor, William A. Buckingham. He stated 
that Connecticut had not honored this famous governor 
sufficiently until a monument had been erected to his 
memory. This remark brought forth cheers. The Ninth, 
Father Slocum said, was made up of men who came to 
this country with the idea of seeking a home and tO' enjoy 
the liberty that was denied them in their native land. 
They debated the question of the North and South as 
others debated it and when the time came to decide be- 
tween loyalty and treason, they chose the side of loyalty 
and no braver fighters ever went to the front than those 
of the gallant Ninth. 

Following Father Slocum's oration, Col. Richard 
Fitz Gibbon presented the monument to the city of New 
Haven and to Mayor Studley as the city's chief executive. 

Mayor Studley in his reply of acceptance said: "In 
behalf of the city of New Haven it is my privilege to 
accept this memorial. I thank you and your committee 
and all others who have assisted in making the gift pos- 
sible. 

"New Haven is not without historic places. The west- 
ern part of the city was the scene of an invasion by 
British troops during the war of the Revolution. On 
West Rock is Judges' Cave ; across the bay lie the two old 
forts, Wooster and Hale. And on the waters of New 



386 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Haven harbor once rode a hostile fleet, the thunder of 
whose guns reverberated, shaking the ground where we 
are now assembled. 

"The establishment of this memorial marks another 
place never to be forgotten. It seems fitting, therefore, 
that the memorial should be erected upon this park, 
which is a portion of the old camp ground where the 
Ninth regiment assembled in 1861, when President Lin- 
coln issued the call for 300,000 volunteers. It was hert 
that the men who formed the regiment assembled. Here 
they perfected their compan)^ and regimental organiza- 
tion. 

"Here they were drilled and began to know the hard- 
ships of a soldier's life. Here they became messmates 
and shared the same rations, and here they gathered 
about the campfires and sang. On November 4, 1861, 
the regiment bade farewell to those near and dear to 
them, and in the cases of many of them it was to be the 
last farewell. They formed their lines for the last time on 
these grounds, passed out the old gate and marched 
down the street and took the cars on their way to the 
war. 

"The Ninth regiment was composed chiefly of men of 
Irish descent. That race is famed the world over for its 
love of liberty, its hatred of oppression, and for its g-en- 
erous sacrifice of property and life to get freedom. The 
Ninth made a gallant record throughout the war, its of- 
ficers and men serving with bravery and heroism. 

"The city of New Haven has a special interest in the 
Ninth regiment, for many of its officers and men were 
residents here. Colonel Cahill, the first commandant of 
the regiment, was long one of our prominent citizens, and 
Lieut. Col. Healy, who brought back the battalion from 
the war, is known to all of us. Among the survivors of 
the Ninth are some of our best citizens of to-day. 

"Mr. President of the Park Commission : Having ac- 
cepted this memorial on behalf of the city, it now becomes 



JVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1865. 387 

my duty to place it in your care. I charge you to guard 
and preserve it well." 

Gen. Phelps Montgomery gracefully accepted the mon- 
ument for the park commission. The closing prayer was 
then offered by the Rev. Watson L. PhilHps, and the 
exercises were concluded. 

Later, lunch was served the veterans in Music Hall, on 
Court street. Outside, the streets were enlivened by the 
marching of visiting organizations and the city resounded 
with the music of the bands of the latter. While special 
trains brought many excursionists to the city the number 
would have been vastly greater had better weather con- 
ditions prevailed. Notwithstanding the drawbacks, how- 
ever, the celebration was an unqualified success. 

An editorial in the New Haven Union, Aug. 5, paid the 
following tribute : 'The record of the Ninth regiment in 
the war of the rebellion was one of which every Irishman 
can well feel proud. It was a record of bravery that 
knew no limit, of determination that knew no flinching. 
The men left this city where the regiment was formed, 
with colors flying and never once in the fierce fighting 
that followed, in the battling for the preservation of the 
Union, were those colors lowered to the enemy. It was 
known as the Fighting Ninth, a brave, resolute, set of 
men, which any city might well regard with enthusiasm 
and admiration. 

"It is fitting that New Haven should honor the gallant 
Ninth, * * * an(j their acts of heroism should never 
be forgotten. The monument which was unveiled this 
morning in honor of this plucky band of fighters, is in a 
way a fitting testimonial to men who faced the southern 
bullets, took their lives in their hands, that Uncle Sam's 
flag should float over a united country. On that monu- 
ment is printed the two hundred and fifty odd names of 
those who fell in * * * the glorious cause of the 
Union. It is the roll of honor, the list of heroes, the brave 
and the true, whose lives went up on the altar of their 
26 



388 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTR Y. 

country that there might be an undivided land for the 
American people. 

"Such deeds of heroism should never go unrecognized, 
and when the survivors of the Ninth decided to erect a 
monument to commemorate the deeds of valor that make 
glorious and noble the life of the soldier, they took a step 
that met with universal approval. New Haven extends 
a warm welcome to those who gathered here to-day to 
participate in the ceremonies incidental to the unveiling 
of the monument to the memory of the heroes of the 
Ninth. It was a day that will not be forgotten or quickly 
pass from the minds of those who directly or indirectly 
took part in those interesting memorial exercises." 

The New Haven Register, Aug. 5, paid the following 
graceful editorial tribute : "To-day witnessed the cul- 
mination of months of conference and agitation on the 
part of veterans of the gallant Ninth regiment. When it 
was first concluded to erect a monument in memory of 
their command there was an immediate response from 
those who are familiar and in sympathy with the efforts 
everywhere made to immortalize the self-sacrifices of the 
men who responded so enthusiastically to the President's 
call for troops, when secession reared its head in the 
country and threatened the life of the Union. 

"The undertaking had its days of doubt and worry, as 
all such efforts have, and will have, so long as men add 
to the toil of bread-winning that of unselfish performance. 
In a way it would be unfortunate if it were otherwise, for 
after all has been said and done which can be said and 
done, there is a greater satisfaction to be taken in the 
culmination of work which requires the thought of many 
heads and the toil of many hands. This can be truly said 
of the monument which was unveiled to-day, and which is 
not the work of a single man, but of the regiment and its 
friends. 

"We have written enough of the deeds of the Ninth 
regiment. What it did has passed into history with a 



IVAJ? OF THE REBELLION, i86i-iUs. 389 

complete roster of its officers and men. The monument 
which IS now among the interesting possessions of the 
city, and which is to endure as long as the granite of 
which it is made endures,, begins a new chapter as it is to 
be written in the interest and affection of the generations 
which are to follow, and to view the work of the Grand 
Army of the Republic as we view the work of the Conti- 
nental army. 

"It will have no familiar faces to which to turn in order 
to intensify and personify its impressions. The actors in 
that dark tragedy will all have gone the way of mortals, 
and there will stand the shaft of granite to typify a phase 
of life in the young republic, which time has justified. 
By those who come after the survivors of the regiment it 
will be viewed as we view a historic spot which is marked 
with a tablet of bronze. A few will be led to look up the 
immediate record of the regiment, but the great majority 
will regard it as one of the milestones of the country, and 
fall to reflecting upon the significance of the events in 
which the Ninth was involved. In that way it will serve 
the only purpose such memorials ought to serve. 

"But in addition to the testimony which this monument 
will bear to the men of future generations of the deeds 
performed and the sacrifices made for the Union by their 
predecessors, it will stand as a complete assurance of the 
power of this republic to assimilate those of a different 
race, reared under dififerent social and political conditions. 
In a large way it will stand as a striking memorial of the 
loyalty of the Irish race to the country of their adoption, 

^ ^ >N 

"Of especial interest will it ever be to the children of 
those who were among the enlisted men of the regiment. 
Already the young men of Irish extraction, who are in 
many instances the grandsons of the early immigrant, 
are as much the product of the country and types of its 
life as if they were descended from the hardy voyagers on 
the Mayflower. The traditions of the race from which 



390 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

they sprung are as impersonal to them as the traditions 
of the Dutch race are impersonal to the President of the 
United States. They will, as they should, forever pay 
honor to the fatherland and observe the various days 
which are associated with its history and calendar, but it 
will be with particular satisfaction that they gaze upon 
the granite figure in Bay View park which represents the 
devotion of the Irish to this country. It will keep their 
Americanism strong and pure, without in the least affect- 
ing, to its disadvantage, the spirit of their race. 

"The more monuments there are commemorating the 
unselfish deeds of the citizens of this country the better 
it will be for the country itself. Even within the relatively 
short space of time which separates the civil rebellion 
from to-day there has been such a social and industrial 
revolution that we can be said to be living under entirely 
different conditions. If life in this republic has been made 
easier to live, it has not escaped being made more compli- 
cated. The problems which we have to meet are just as 
great, and in some respects more varied, than those which 
shafts of this character recall. 

"Brave men who loved their country more than they 
loved their homes left the latter to serve the former. It 
would be a very superficial view of existing responsibil- 
ities which should to-day contend that men of equal 
loyalty and devotion are less needed. The demands of 
human nature, as expressed to-day, call for the highest 
employment of unselfish qualities, those of the mind as 
well as those of the heart. There is little prospect that we 
shall soon require again the services of the young and 
strenuous in the field of battle, but there is abundant evi- 
dence that the world of commerce and of politics require 
the services of the young and honest. 

"To our mind, in addition to the testimony which this 
Ninth regiment monument will bear to the courage and 
loyalty of that command, it will be valuable in constantly 
reminding the citizens of New Haven of their duty to 



IV A R OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 391 

their own community. A monument which is content to 
end its usefulness with commemoration of the past pos- 
sesses but Httle value. The monument which serves the 
double purpose of honoring the past and stimulating the 
present, by very force of its example, is in its way to be 
included among the educational forces of the city. That 
this may be the mission of the monument which has been 
unveiled to-day is our profound hope. In the meantime 
we have only congratulations for those who have brought 
this work to its completion." 

Among the many interesting communications received 
by the committee of arrangements was the following : 



Office of Washington Camp, No. 8, 
Patriotic Order Sons of America, 
State of Connecticut, 
New Haven, Conn., Aug. i, 1903. 

Lieut. -Col. John G. Hcaly, President Ninth Regiment Asso- 
ciation, and to the Veterans of the Old Ninth, 

Greeting : 

Your invitation of July 21st was received with pleasure 
and satisfaction by this Camp. In reply would state that 
we accept this invitation, but as many of our members 
are connected with various Veteran Associations, and as 
we have tried to arrange for a joint demonstration, and 
failed, we ofifer this as an excuse for not advising you 
sooner. 

We are with you in heart and spirit and regret that as 
a body we shall not be properly represented in the parade. 

Yours sincerely, 
[Official Seal] Chas. E. Serviss, 

Rec. Sec'y. 



The Naugatuck, Ct., News, Aug. 5, notes that : "In the 
midst of a drizzling rain the Hibernian Rifle Company, 
the St. Francis T. A. B. Drum Corps, members of Isbell 
Post, G. A. R., the Y. M. Catholic Institute and the 



392 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Naugatuck Drum Corps, left on a special train for New 
Haven this morning to take part in the ceremonies at- 
tending the imveiling of the Ninth Regiment monument 
in New Haven to-day. The military men were in full 
uniform and the Y. M. C. I. wore white caps and carried 
canes and white umbrellas." 

Among those participating in the exercises at Bay 
View park and, later, in the armory, where many members 
of the American-Irish Historical Society from Boston, 
Providence, New York and other cities. The headquar- 
ters of the Society were at the Tontine Hotel, Church 
street. The Society received a hearty welcome to the 
city and was the recipient of many hospitalities during 
its stay. Among the invitations received and accepted 
was the following : 



Knights of St. Patrick, 

New Haven, Conn., July i8, 1903. 

Mr. T. H. Murray, Secretary American-Irish Historical 
Society, 

Dear Sir: 

At a meeting of the Board of Governors of the Knights 
of St. Patrick of New Haven, Conn., held on July 17, 
1903, it was unanimously voted that the freedom of the 
club house be tendered to the members of the American- 
Irish Historical Society and its friends on Aug. 5, 1903. 
The Knights will be pleased to meet the members of the 
Society and trust the latter will be able to accept this in- 
vitation. 

"Open house" all day from 7 a. m. 
Very truly yours, 

J. F. Sullivan, M.D., 

Recording Secretary. 



During the day and evening delegations from the So- 
ciety visited the handsome club-house of the Knights and 
were hospitably entertained. 



M^AR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 393 

The Society had also received an invitation, through 
the Hon. EH Whitney, from the New Haven Colony 
Historical Society to visit the rooms of the latter on 
Grove street. This invitation was likewise accepted. 
Benjamin R. English, representing the last named organ- 
ization, called at the Tontine early in the day, Aug. 5, 
and arranged with Secretary Murray for the visit. 
In the afternoon, Edward C. Beecher of the New Haven 
Colony Historical Society arrived for the purpose of 
escorting the members of the American-Irish Historical 
Society to the rooms of the former organization. At 2 
p. m., the line was formed and, headed by Mr. Beecher 
and the Hon. William McAdoo, President-General of the 
A. I. H. S., proceeded across the city green to the place 
mentioned. 

Here the visitors were received by Mr. English, above 
mentioned, Richard F. Lyon and Ralph O. Williams. 
After inscribing their names in the visitors' book, the 
guests were escorted through the spacious building and 
shown the Society's collections of portraits, books and 
historical curiosities. An hour was thus pleasantly spent, 
and the visitors then took their departure highly pleased 
with their call. 

Later in the afternoon, the Hon. C. T. Driscoll, Ex- 
Mayor of New Haven, escorted a delegation of the 
American-Irish Historical Society through the grounds 
and leading buildings of Yale University and entertained 
them at the Graduates' Club. 

The Society's dinner in the evening was a splendid 
afifair. It was preceded by a reception at which were 
present the Hon. John D. Crimmins, of New York, with 
his guest, Gen. Coppinger; the Hon. Eli Whitney, of 
New Haven, and many other prominent people. Mr. 
Crimmins and Gen. Coppinger were unable to remain for 
the dinner, being obliged to leave town on an early train. 

Rev. Thomas J. Finn, of Port Chester, Ct., and Rod- 
erick J. Kennedy, of New York city, two members of the 



394

Society, were also unable to wait for the dinner and left 
for home at an early hour. 

The dinner began about 8 p. m. The Hon. William 
McAdoo, of New York, president-general of the Society, 
presided. Grace was said by the Rev. Christopher 
Hughes, D.D., of Fall River, Mass. An orchestra was

Special Agent U. S. Indian affairs ; Special Agent U. S. 
Treasury Dept. ; Asst. U. S. Commissioner of Immigra- 
tion at New York city ; Commissioner of Charities, New 
York city; Commander U. S. Medal of Honor 
Legion. In business life he has been President of the 
Yonkers Electric Light Co. ; Secretary of the Flemington 
Coal and Coke Co. of West Virginia, and Treasurer of the 
Manhattan Distilling Co. Major Patrick Maher served, 
during the Civil War, as Major of the Twenty-Fourth 
Connecticut regiment. It will be seen, therefore, that the 
military element was well represented at the dinner. 

After full justice had been done the choice viands com- 
prised in the menu, cigars were lighted and the post pran- 
dial exercises began. President McAdoo felicitously 
opened the speech making. He was formerly a member 
of Congress, and was also Assistant Secretary of the U. 
S. Navy. He dwelt upon the objects of the American- 
Irish Historical Society, and upon the part taken by men 
of Irish blood in building, defending and perpetuating 
the republic. He thanked Governor Chamberlain, 
Mayor Studley and the other guests for their attendance, 
and said that the Society was proud to honor, by its 
presence in New Haven, the gallant Ninth Connecticut 
and the surviving veterans of the latter. He next spoke 
of traits of character of the Irish and the reasons why the 
people of Ireland are termed a military race. He then 
introduced Governor Chamberlain. 

The Governor was cordially greeted and delivered a 
very interesting address, in the course of which he paid a 
tribute to the services rendered this country by the Irish- 
man. 

Mayor Studley was the next speaker. He also paid 
an eloquent tribute to the Irish element, and dealt with 
the history and career of the Ninth Connecticut. Con- 
tinuing, he said : "The Irishman is known as a generous 
man throughout the world. If he is your friend he is a 
generous friend, and if he is your enemy he is a generous 



398 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

enemy." In closing, the mayor welcomed the society to 
the city, and said that the people were glad to have it 
meet here. 

Congressman Sperry was then introduced. He said 
in substance: "I think it proper for every race element 
among us, if it thinks it is not properly recognized, to de- 
mand recognition, and as I understand the purpose of 
this society, it is to present to the public the gallant deeds 
of the Irish in this country. We are indebted to the Irish 
people, who did so much in 1776, 1812 and 1861 to keep 
this country one and inseparable. This is a peculiar 
country made up of all nationalities, and every man has 
his duty to perform. The Irish race has done much to 
help us firmly plant the banner of liberty. It is an honor 
to be one of those to stand and defend his country." 

Hon. Thomas J. Gargan was the next speaker. He 
said in substance : "The Irish are probably greater emi- 
grants to this glorious country than any other race, and 
we have done our part in making this country's history. 
There was a time when Irishmen were forbidden to bear 
arms, yet when the call came they generously gave their 
lives. We are not permitted to take a part in great wars, 
but we honor those of our race who did. There are new 
days before us ; shall we not act in a manly manner and 
defend our country's principles? We have been honor- 
ing to-day the memory of those who have helped to per- 
petuate the Union. We have a great battle to fight, that 
of living the lives of honest and straightforward citizens." 

Col. John G. Healy, of the Ninth, was then introduced 
and made an eloquent response. He alluded to the part 
taken by the regiment in the war, and spoke of the mon- 
ument unveiled to-day and its significance. He thanked 
the Historical Society for coming to New Haven to 
honor the day, and hoped that the organization would 
again visit the city at some time in the near future. 

Gen. James R. O'Beirne complimented the veterans of 
the Ninth on their patriotism in erecting the monument 



WAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 399 

we have to-day dedicated. He then spoke of the work 
in which the Historical Society is engaged, and dwelt 
upon the importance of recording the history of the Irish 
in this country. ''Outside of military matters," said he, 
"there should also be something in the shape of letters. 
We may appropriately, this evening, in this patriotic city 
and state, stand for letters as well as for arms." 

Among the other speakers were Capt. Lawrence 
O'Brien, Ex-Governor Morgan G. Bulkeley and Hon. C. 
T. Driscoll. John F. Hayes, M.D., recited "Sheridan's 
Ride," in an excellent manner and, soon after, the exer- 
cises closed. 

During the evening, the following poem was handed in 
for recitation, but owing to the lateness of the hour it was 
omitted : 



HIS LAST MARCH. 

W. D. Nesbit in Chicago Tribmte. 

[John T. Mason, seventy-four years old, a veteran of 
the civil war, was heard one night singing "While We 
Were Marching Through Georgia." Next morning he 
was found lifeless in his bed. A physician who was called 
stated that the old man must have died about the time the 
song was heard by the others in the house.] 

"Bring the good old bugle, boys, we'll sing another 
song !" 

He heard the far-off chorus as his comrades marched 
along ; 

He heard the clank of sabrCj and the jangling bit and 
spur, 

The rumbling of the cannons, where his shouting mess- 
mates were ; 

He heard the hurried hoofbeats of the horses mettlesome ; 

And high above he saw the flag that beckoned him : "O, 
come !" 



400 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

He saw them swing along the road — not graybeards, 
slow and bent, 

Ah, no ! He saw the boyish ranks of his old regiment. 

With rhythmic tread it held its line, with fifers piping 
shrill : 

He saw the ragged colors, that were waving to him still ; 

And calling — calling — calling, came the rolling of the 
drum : 

"Fall in ! Fall in for dress parade ! The ranks are wait- 
ing. Come !" 

The line wheeled when it neared him, and as in the light 
of noon 

He saw the forms of comrades who across the South were 
strewn ; 

He saw the brave companion who had battled by his 
side — 

The tears welled up again just as they did the day he 
died. 

Then, "Halt !" the bugles sounded, and he heard his war- 
time chief 

Call in his kindest, clearest tones : "This is the last 
relief!" 

"March on !" The flag was waving and the soldiers 

marched away ; 
And he went singing with them, far beyond the Gates of 

Day, 
The bugles pealing gladly and the line with no more 

gaps— 
The bugles singing sweetly in that benison of "Taps." 
And fifes were mad and merry, and the drums were 

laughing, too. 
For he marched beside the colors as he led the grand 

review ! 

The following members of the American-Irish Histori- 
cal Society sent letters expressive of regret at inability to 
be present at the dinner :

Dear Sir: 

Your notice of June 10, and postal of 15th inst., calling 
the members' attention to the coming annual Field Day 
of the American-Irish Historical Society, to be held at 
New Haven, this year, on Aug. 5, duly received. 



402 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Owing to the uncertainty of my getting away from 
here, on account of business, at that particular time, I 
have not answered till now. Even now, much as I desire 
to go, I cannot say for certain whether I can get away. 
If it is possible for me to be present I will be on hand at 
the proper time ; as, together with the pleasure of meeting 
the members of the Society, the additional pleasure of 
meeting two old comrades of Fenian Days, as well as 
army comrades — members of the Committee of Arrange- 
ments and old residents of New Haven — Col. Healy and 
Capt. O'Brien, whom I have not seen for several years, 
would be afforded me. 

Yours truly, 

James Moran. 

The following letters were also received:

Mr. Thomas Hamilton Murray,

My Dear Sir: 

Returning from the Adirondacks, I find your letter, 
written July 19, inviting me to be the guest of the Ameri- 
can-Irish Historical Society, at a dinner to be given on 
the evening of August 5, at the Tontine Hotel, New 
Haven. Unless other arrangements have been made for 
me for that evening by the Veteran Association of the 
Ninth Connecticut Infantry, I shall be glad to comply 
with your invitation. 

I shall be in New Haven, August 5, on the occasion of 
the dedication of the Ninth regiment monument, by invi- 
tation, and must of course, hold myself subject to their 

wishes. 

Sincerely yours, 

O. H. Platt.

Mr. Thomas Hamilton Murray,

My Dear Sir: 

Confirming my telegram of this date, saying that I 
find it will be impossible for me to attend the dinner to 
be given on the evening of August 5, at the Tontine 
Hotel, New Haven, by the American-Irish Historical 
Society, complimentary to the Ninth Regiment, I explain 
more fully by saying that I find it is imperative that I 
return to my home in the afternoon of that day. 

With expressions of sincere regret, I am 

Very truly yours, 

O. H. Platt.

from the HON. H. wales LINES. 

Meriden, Ct., Aug. 6, 1903. 
Mr. M. p. Coen, 

Naugatuck, Ct. 
Dear Mr. Coen : 

It would have been very pleasant and interesting to 
attend the banquet of the American-Irish Historical So- 
ciety at the Tontine Hotel last evening, but after leaving 
you it became necessary for me to return to Meriden 
early in the evening and hence I was obliged to forego 
that pleasure. 

It was most unfortunate that the storm so entirely 
changed your Committee's plans. Had the day been fair, 
the Ninth C. V., memorial celebration would have been 
one of the most impressive events that has occurred in 
this State within our recollection. 

Nevertheless, it was a grand demonstration. The 
large attendance of Connecticut people ; the presence of 
27 



404 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

the Ninth C. V. veterans, the splendid address of Father 
Sloctim, and other details of the programme, were all of 
a character to be remembered by every man who loves his 
State and Country whose good fortune it was to hear or 
know what was said and done. I wish that the oration 
might be read and understood by every man in our good 
old State. 

Appreciating fully all the courtesy and attention ex- 
tended to me by yourself and other members of your 
Committee, with assurance of my warm personal esteem, 

I remain. 

Sincerely yours, 

H. Wales Lines. 

The New Haven Register, in its issue of Aug. 6, ob- 
served: "In spite of the inclement weather the veterans 
of the Ninth Connecticut volunteeers and their friends — 
the latter comprising both this community and state — 
rallied in great force for the event of yesterday, so long 
and eagerly looked forward to. It goes without saying 
that it would require a greater obstacle than a chilling 
easterly storm to daunt the survivors of the gallant regi- 
ment which, four decades ago, faced so stoutly the storms 
of battle incident to a bitter and protracted civil war. The 
powers of the air did their utmost, but found it impossible 
to quench the enthusiasm of participants and spectators 
at the exercises of yesterday. 

"Of the program carried out at the Second regiment 
armory it may be said that it was in all its features most 
acceptable to the mighty audience assembled there. In 
the course of his address accepting the monument on be- 
half of the city. Mayor Studley voiced fittingly the com- 
mon sentiment of respect and admiration as regards the 
Ninth. Governor Chamberlain's remarks in honor of 
the famous regiment struck a popular chord and were 
received with great favor. In this impassioned address, 
the Rev. Father Slocum of Waterbury told some whole- 



JVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 405 

some truths and indulged in glowing but merited eulogy 
of the endurance and valor of the Ninth in the early 6o's. 

"It was a grievous pity that, after months of painstaking 
preparation for this monument unveiling, Jupiter Pluvius 
should have risen in his might at the last moment and 
striven to nullify the consummation by a deluge. Every- 
body in New Haven — in Connecticut, too, it is safe to 
say, regretted that the sun could not have shone on 
the sacred observance of yesterday. That would have 
been vastly pleasanter for all concerned, but we must re- 
call the adage concerning spilt milk and be philosophical 
concerning the vagaries of the weather. At least, the 
monument is unveiled, and long may it stand to com- 
memorate the worth of those sons of Connecticut who 
came to the aid of the nation in its hour of need." 

"Trumbull" in his article in the New York Herald, 
Sunday, Aug. 9, speaking of the Ninth's monument says : 
"It was commendable in the officers and supporters of 
the regiment to make the day a memorable one in the 
history of New Haven. While there have been oppor- 
tunities by the score for the representatives of the race 
to impress their presence upon that city, there has never 
before been an opportunity to awaken the public to the 
fact that at the time of the nation's greatest need, when 
the Irish had not been received into the sentimental 
brotherhood of man, they were behind none in their read- 
iness to make sacrifices for the country and in honor of 
their State. In reality there have been but few who have 
known that this regiment was a distinctively Irish regi- 
ment and of Connecticut origin. 

"It sprang into existence in response to the keen ap- 
preciation of Governor Buckingham that there was in 
the Irish residents of the State the same love of the Union 
that was to be found in the other elements. Had it not 
been for him it is doubtful if the career would have been 
opened to it which to-day justifies its pride in the monu- 



4o6 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

ment which is to stand as long as granite can endure. 
With this knowledge in one's possession, the significance 
of the eloquent tribute paid Governor Buckingham by 
Father Slocum, the orator of the day, becomes under- 
stood. He justly called him the first citizen of his day 
and declared that Connecticut would fail in its duty until 
it had reared a public monument, in a conspicuous place, 
to his memory. * * * 

"As 1 have already said, the impression which this 
celebration made upon the people of Connecticut would 
have been deeper had the day been a bright one and the 
elaborate programme been possible of performance. It 
would indeed have been significant of the Americanism of 
the Irish that under their direction the largest military 
and civic demonstration ever seen in New Haven had 
been concluded. As it was, the regiment was enabled to 
give a stirring demonstration of the loyalty which has 
always been theirs and which at last has come to be 
recognized as among the best assets of the State. The 
handsome monument will, of course, for all time continue 
to testify to the service of the Ninth regiment. * * * 

"In view, moreover, of the rapid disappearance of the 
veterans of the war, the demand becomes urgent that the 
survivors of the Connecticut regiments should lead in an 
attempt to have them all immortalized in the towns in 
which they were organized. It is not a work for the 
State to undertake, for that means of carrying on the 
work^ while it simplifies the undertaking, does not give 
the memorials the significance which comes from private 
subscriptions. The further we go from the scene of that 
great conflict, which cost so much life and destroyed so 
much treasure that the Union might be preserved, the 
heavier is the obligation to preserve its lesson for the ben- 
efit of those who have a different kind of battle to fight, in 
order that the institutions then saved may be perpetu- 
ated."

THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. 



BY £). B. LOCKWOOD. 



How many hearts will leap with swelling pride, 

How many eyes will fill with burning tears. 

To see, at last, above the swelling tide, 

The monument, foretold these many years ; 

Foretold with hope deferred, and anxious fears. 

Till comrades living, feared that comrades dead 

Might be forgot ; and all that so endears 

Their niem'ry to the land for which they bled, 

Would fade away from earth with time's unceasing tread. 

Proud emblem of the men who bravely fell 

Who only counted dear the nation's life. 

Who blanched not at the sound of shot or shell, 

Rememb'ring duty, country, home and wife. 

Each volunteer a hero in the strife. 

Ready to fight, as only fight the brave 

Or meet in midnight the assassin's knife, 

In prison-pen to die, their land to save, 

A land as fair as free, that owns no more a slave. 

Reminder of the days of bloody strife, 

Of fierce contending hosts in stern array, 

Battling for dear bought liberty and life. 

And all that makes us glorious to-day ; 

A Union ! from Alaska's ice-bound shore 

To Ponce de Leon's fragrant land of flowers ! 

Long may it stand, defying Time's decay! 

Long may its soldier-sailor mantled towers 

Keep watch and ward above this goodly land of ours. 



4o8 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

Hither shall come in each succeeding year 

Bringing the fairest, freshest flowers of May, 

The comrades left behind ; who'll drop a tear 

For consecrated dust that's far away. 

And keep with pride our "Decoration Day." 

And when in God's good time our lives are spent, 

Our children here shall come in proud array 

With spring-time flowers, on filial duty bent. 

To deck, with grateful hearts, the Soldiers' Monument. 

A hundred years of earnest labor done. 

Of arts improved, of progress near and far; 

In civil strife a thousand battles won ; 

In peace more conquests than in bloody war! 

O, who shall draw the horoscope afar 

Of centVies hence, when nations ne'er shall know 

The lust of cruel strife, but when the star 

Of Peace o'er all the world shall brightly glow 

And man shall conquer self, his greatest earthly foe.

SOME INTERESTING NOTES. 

THE first reunion of the surviving veterans of the 
Ninth took place at the Tontine Hotel, New Haven, 
Dec. 2, 1869. It was a most enjoyable event. 

The great old Irish clan names were well represented 
in the regiment. The O's and Macs abounded, while 
hundreds of other historic Irish names likewise appeared. 

Representatives of three generations of one family — 
the Careys of Hartford — enlisted in Company K. They 
were father, son and grandson. The latter, however, 
was not mustered. 

It was by no means uncommon to hear conversations 
in the Irish language carried on by members of the regi- 
ment. Many of the officers and men were proficient in 
the grand old tongue. 

As stated elsewhere, Lieut. Col. Richard Fitz Gibbon 
had two brothers in the Ninth, Thomas and John. A 
fourth brother, Maurice, while not borne on the muster 
roll, was a sutler of the regiment. 

In Company H were two brothers, — Oliver and 
Stephen Sanford. The latter died Aug. 18, 1862. Oli- 
ver died June 28, 1864. Both were favorites in the com- 
pany and were good soldiers and comrades. 

George and James Hillyer, of Company I, were 
brothers. They both enlisted Aug. 15, 1861, and were 
mustered Oct. i, that year. George died June 3, 1862, 
and James a month later. Both were deeply regretted by 
their comrades. 



410 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

During the Rebellion a publication was issued at regu- 
lar intervals called The Connecticut War Record. Copies 
may be consulted at the State Library, in Hartford. The 
publication contains a number of letters, signed "F. F.," 
in which the Ninth is mentioned. The initials are be- 
lieved to stand for Frederick Frye, the major of the regi- 
ment. 

Early in 1862, Lieut. William O'Keefe, of the Ninth, 
who was then a sergeant, while on picket guard at Ship 
Island, Miss., captured a Confederate spy and was spe- 
cially thanked for the exploit by Gen. Phelps. The spy 
pretended he could talk only Spanish, but when he found 
that Gen. Phelps was acquainted with that language, he 
abandoned all further dissembling. 

The resolution for the return of the captured battle- 
flag of the Third Mississippi was introduced, in the 
Connecticut House of Representatives, by the Hon. 
James P. Pigott of New Haven. He was at that time a 
member of the House, ably supported the measure and 
had the satisfaction of seeing the resolution adopted. 
Mr. Pigott was afterwards a member of Congress from 
Connecticut. 

During the Civil War, there was a project to organize 
in Connecticut, and send to the front, a second Irish regi- 
ment. A rendezvous was established at Hartford and 
the work of enlistment was vigorously begun. Thomas 
McManus of Hartford, Patrick Maher of New Haven, 
and other military men were prominent in the movement. 
Several companies were started, but the project was 
finally relinquished. 

Lieut. William Glceson of the Ninth took a promi- 
nent part, after the war, in the Fenian movement. He 
organized a company of 102 men for the invasion of 
Canada and was highly complimented for his activity. 



JVAJ^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 411 

Lieut. Gleeson has also been prominent in the Grand 
Army of the Repubhc. He was commander of Henry C. 
Alerwin Post, of New Haven, and has held other posi- 
tions of prominence in the organization. 

Thomas H. Sullivan, proprietor of "The Oneco" hotel, 
New Haven, rendered great service in collecting funds 
for the Ninth's monument. He generously worked day 
and night in aid of the project and deserves special men- 
tion for his very substantial labors in that respect. He 
also gladly allowed the Ninth's Veteran Association the 
exclusive use of Parlor A, in his hotel, as headquarters, 
for two months, and absolutely declined to receive any 
remuneration therefor. 

The Croffut-Morris history makes several references 
to the loyalty of the Irish of Connecticut to the cause of 
the Union. Speaking of Lieut. Robert Dempsey of the 
Seventh Connecticut regiment, it says : "When Lieut. 
Robert Dempsey (of Winstedj fell, he said to those who 
w^ould have removed him, T am going to die here. Let 
me die on my side' ; the blood at the same time gushing 
from his breast. Lieut. Dempsey went out as second 
lieutenant on the original formation of the regiment. He 
was about thirty years old, an Irish Catholic, and a true 
soldier." 

Asst. Surg. George W. Avery of the Ninth was grad- 
uated from the Yale Medical school in July, 1861. He 
was commissioned First Assistant Surgeon of the Ninth 
and accompanied the regiment to vShip Island, Miss. He 
was at one period in charge of the hospital on the island, 
later going to New Orleans. On Dec. 8, 1863, he was 
promoted Surgeon of the First regiment, New Orleans 
Volunteers. He served on Gen. Canby's stafT after the 
war, and in 1867, succeeded Gen. Harry Hayes as a high 
sheriff in New Orleans. He left the latter city late in 
1871, and located in Hartford, Ct.

In General Orders relative to the battle of Baton 
Rouge, issued by Gen. Butler, subsequent to the battle, 
after stating that "The men of the Ninth Connecticut, 
who were detailed to man Nims' battery, deserve special 
commendation," he pays a tribute to "John Donaghue, 
Fourth Massachusetts battery, who brought off from the 
camp of the Seventh Vermont regiment their colors at 
the time of their retreat." Butler also calls attention to 
the fact that "First Sergeant John Haley, Company E, 
Thirtieth Massachusetts, commanded his company 
bravely and well in the absence of his line officers." 

The following receipt from M. P. Coen, secretary and 
treasurer of the Ninth Regiment Veteran Association, 
is self-explanatory : "Received from Lieutenant Com- 
mander William Braunersreuther, U. S. N., Comman- 
dant, Naval Station, New London, Conn., in accordance 
with instructions from the Ordnance Department, dated 
April 29, 1903, Four (4) 12 pdr. brass howitzers on iron 
carriages * * * [for] the 9th Regiment, C. V., 
Veterans Association, for use in ornamenting the monu- 
ment of that Association to be erected at Bay View Park, 
New Haven, Conn. ; five (5) trail bars ; four (4) elevating 
screws ; four (4) locks and strings." 

A special dispatch from Naugatuck, Ct., to the New 
Haven Union, Aug. 9, 1903, stated that "The citizens 
of Naugatuck contributed nearly $700 toward the Ninth 
C. V. regiment monument fund, and notwithstanding 
the fact that it was pouring rain a large delegation went 
to New Haven to represent Naugatuck at the dedication 
of the monument. This town never does anything by 
halves. The Y. M. C. L boys presented quite a neat 
appearance with their white umbrellas and received con- 
siderable applause as they marched up Meadow street 
from the New Haven depot. Although the umbrellas 
were more for display than anything else, they came in 
handy in the rain." 



IVAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1863. 413 

Gen. Michael Corcoran, of New York, delivered an ad- 
dress in Hartford, Ct., Aug. 30, 1862. He reached that 
city at I p. m., and was greeted at the depot by a great 
crowd. The depot had been decorated with flags and 
an impromptu stage had been erected. Among those on 
the stage were Governor Buckingham and Col. Deming. 
Gen. Corcoran was introduced by the mayor, and made a 
patriotic speech. He thanked the assemblage for the 
welcome extended, and expressed regrets that his engage- 
ments in New York would prevent him from addressing 
them that night. He promised to visit Hartford again, 
soon, if his military duties would allow. He was re- 
peatedly applauded. 

An order was issued by the War Department, March 
2^, 1865. providing "That at the hour of noon, on the 
14th day of April, 1865, Brevet Major-General Anderson 
will raise and plant upon the ruins of Fort Sumter, in 
Charleston Harbor, the same United States flag which 
floated over the battlements of that Fort during the rebel 
assault, and which was lowered and saluted by him and 
the small force of his command when the works were 
evacuated on the 14th day of April, 1861." The cere- 
monies attendant on this restoration of the flag were very 
impressive. By invitation of Gen. Cuvier Grover, com- 
manding at Savannah, Ga., Lieut. Col. Healy and the 
band of the Ninth participated in the ceremonies. 

Lieut. John C. Curtis, of the Ninth, received a Con- 
gress Medal of Honor for bravery at the battle of Baton 
Rouge. He was Sergeant Major of the regiment at the 
time of the battle. During the engagement, while the 
Ninth was in reserve, he begged Lieut. Col. Fitz Gibbon, 
then in command of the Ninth, for permission to go into 
the line of fire with the Sixth Michigan regiment. Lieut. 
Col. Fitz Gibbon gave his consent. Being a sergeant 
major, Curtis was armed with a non-commissioned offi- 
cer's short sword. He put on the equipments of a mem- 
ber of the Ninth who was disabled, took the latter's rifle 



414 NINTH REGIMENT CONN. VOL. INFANTRY. 

and hastened to the Sixth Michigan which was closely 
engaged with the enemy. Curtis captured two Confed- 
erates at the point of the bayonet and brought them into 
the lines of the Ninth. As he appeared, driving his two 
prisoners ahead of him, I.ieut. Col. Fitz Gibbon ex- 
claimed: "Great Scott! See what is coming!" and the 
whole regiment cheered. Curtis was then but seventeen 
years of age. 

The Second Company, Governor's Foot Guard, which 
paraded as escort to Gov. Chamberlain, on the occasion 
of the dedication, Aug. 5, 1903, of the monument to the 
Ninth regiment, dates from 1774. It is one of the oldest 
military bodies in the country. Its first meeting for or- 
ganization was held Dec. 28, 1774. The following is an 
extract from the agreement then adopted : "As we, the 
subscribers, are desirous to encourage the Military Art 
in the town of New Haven, and in order to have a well- 
disciplined Company in said town, have agreed with Ed- 
ward Burke to teach us the military exercise, for the con- 
sideration of three poimds lawful money per month, till 
such time as we shall think ourselves expert therein. 
* * * " 'phg Company attained great proficiency 
and for nearly 129 years has occupied a position of prom- 
inence among the select military organizations of the 
country. It was honorably represented in the War of 
the Revolution, the War of 1812, the War with Mexico, 
the War of the Rebellion, and the War with Spain. 

The soldier's statue on the Ninth's monument in Bay 
View park. New Haven, was posed for by Michael P. 
Coen of Naugatuck, Ct., a veteran of the regiment. The 
New Haven Leader states that "M. P. Coen, who was 
secretary and treasurer of the Ninth Regiment Monu- 
ment Committee, was the man unanimously chosen to 
pose for the sculptor who carved the figure which was 
placed on the monument. Mr. Coen is one of the best 
known members of the regiment and has always taken a 
deep interest in it. He has been prominent in bringing 



H^AJ^ OF THE REBELLION, 1861-1S65. 415 

about the plans and the idea of the celebration of the ded- 
ication of the monument. It was only after earnest so- 
licitation on the part of the members of the regiment 
that Mr. Coen consented to allow his figure to represent 
the ideal soldier and to be used as a model for the figure 
to be put on the monument. Mr. Coen resides in Nauga- 
tuck, having extensive business enterprises in that place. 
He came down to the celebration yesterday and brought 
with him one of the largest delegations to reach this city, 
despite the rain." 

Writmg from New Orleans, La., April 15, 1885, to 
Comrade M. P. Coen of Naugatuck, Ct., Capt. William 
Wright says: "My wife and self visited Proctorville, 
(La.), last Sunday for the purpose of noting any changes 
that had taken place, in the last twenty years, in that 
never-to-be-forgotten land of swamps and alligators. 
Well, there are a few changes. In the first place, the 
quarters we occupied have been destroyed by fire, the 
chimneys alone standing, reminding one of the shadowy 
ghosts of sentinels guarding the swamps. The bayou 
has been changed in its course, making quite a straight 
canal. I still found the inevitable negro sitting on the 
bank of the bayou fishing for his daily meal. The old 
fort is still in charge of the identical alligator that with- 
stood so many shots from our rifles. The host of mos- 
quitoes that greeted us on our arrival seemed to remem- 
ber us with great pleasure for they instantly commenced 
presenting their bills, — possibly with a view of making up 
for lost time. They seemed to think that Yankee blood 
was good enough yet." 

Among the veterans of the Ninth who participated in 
the monument dedicatory exercises in New Haven, Aug. 
5, 1903, was William Boyle, a resident of Fort Wads- 
worth, N. Y. During his visit to New Haven, to partici- 
pate in the exercises, he stopped with friends residing on 
Kimberly avenue. Mr. Boyle previous to his enlistment

into the Ninth regiment had served in the Twenty-Eighth 
Connecticut, being with the latter until the expiration of 
his term, Aug. 28, 1863. He enlisted in the Ninth, Jan. 
19, 1864, being credited to Greenwich, Ct. On Oct. 12, 
1864, he was transferred to Co. D, of the Ninth Battalion, 
C. v., and was mustered out, Aug. 3, 1865. After the 
war, he enlisted in the regular army and served in the 
South and West. A recent sketch states that "he was 
commended by letter of Capt. Fields for uniform gal- 
lantry and conduct in the Modoc campaign, and while on 
duty recovering the bodies of Lieut. Cranston and the 
men who fell with him on April 26, 1873. He was 
recommended for appointment of ordnance sergeant and 
other positions by the following officers under whom he 
had served : Major Rodgers, First artillery ; Major 
Pratt, Artillery corps ; Captain Fields, First artillery ; 
Lieutenants Story, Greenough and Chamberlain. He 
served as a non-commissioned officer as follows : Cor- 
poral, Ninth Connecticut Volunteers ; sergeant and first 
sergeant. Battery A, Fourth artillery ; principal musician, 
band, Fourth artillery ; corporal, Battery H, Fourth ar- 
tillery ; corporal, sergeant and first sergeant, Battery L, 
First artillery." 

Just before the present volume went to press, the fol- 
lowing letter was received from Capt. O. F. Nims who 
commanded Nims' battery, during the war, and was with 
the Ninth at Baton Rouge : "42 Blossom st., Boston, 
Mass. Thos. Hamilton Murray, Esq., Sea View, Mass., 
Dear Sir : Your very kind communication has been re- 
ceived by me, and I desire to thank you for the same. 
It is getting to be a long span, back to the days of which 
you speak ; but I remember well the part the Ninth Con- 
necticut took in the memorable engagement at Baton 
Rouge, when in the early morning, under the cover of a 
thick fog, the enemy stole in on us. It was while leading 
the charge that Gen. Williams was killed. Other gallant 
leaders remained, however, and the dashing Col. Cahill 



IVAJi OF THE REBELLION, i86i-i86j. 417 

assumed command of the brigade. By his daring and 
skilful leadership the enemy was repulsed, and the day 
was won. Great credit has been given to all the troops 
who participated that day, and particularly to the men of 
the Ninth Connecticut. Deploring civil strife wherever 
it be, if ours had to be, I am glad that I was able to take 
part in the great conflict for the preservation of the 
Union. Again thanking you for your kindly expressions 
of sentiment, I am, Yours sincerely, O. F. Nims, Captain, 
Second Massachusetts Battery." 

From the Hartford Evening Press, Aug. 27, 1862: 
"The Irish Regiment — There was a large attendance 
at the meeting of Irish citizens, last evening [Hartford], 
at which Thomas McManus, Esq., presided. Patriotic 
speeches were made by Messrs. Thomas McManus, Car- 
roll, Freeman, Stevenson, Edward McManus, Tieman 
and others. A committee was appointed to encourage 
enlistments and another to invite Gen. Corcoran to ad- 
dress the people of Hartford." The above refers to the 
projected second Irish regiment. Another reference to 
the latter is found in the same paper, of Oct. 3, 1862, as 
follows : "The Irish Battalion completed its organiza- 
tion to-day by electing Capt. Patrick Maher of New 
Flaven, captain of the Emmet Guard, as major. The 
battalion reports over 300 men, but not all in camp. The 
two Hartford companies consolidated, and elected Cap- 
tain, George A. Denslow ; First Lieutenant, Edward J. 
Carroll; Second Lieutenant, James L. Haynes. * * * 
The company from Bridgeport, and the other New 
Haven company, consolidated and elected Captain, Pat- 
rick Gilmore ; First Lieutenant, Edward N. Goodwin ; 
Second Lieutenant, Patrick Mooney." In the Hartford 
Evening Press, Oct. 4, 1862, it is stated that "Thomas 
McManus, late Acting Major of the Irish Battalion, has 
been appointed Adjutant of the Twenty-Fifth Regiment. 
The Irish Battalion has been consolidated with the 
Twenty-Fourth Regiment at Middletown."
